Former health minister K K Shailaja said that being part of the Left Government led by Pinarayi Vijayan is one of the proudest chapters in her life. After stepping down from the ministry, Shailaja penned her experiences in a Facebook post.

It was a very difficult process to be in charge of the health department at a time when Nipah virus, Ockhi and Covid shattered the state. In her farewell note, she said the alliance formed under the leadership of the chief minister and the firm co-operation of the ministers and departmental officials was very helpful in discharging her responsibilities. She added that she is stepping down firmly believing that the health department is in stronger hands.
