Also, she would have been the first Keralite woman to receive the same, had the party decided otherwise. As reported by The New Indian Express, "Had the party been in favour of Shailaja accepting the award, she would have been the fifth Keralite to get the honour after Verghese Kurien, M S Swaminathan, B G Verghese and T N Seshan. This is a collective effort of the LDF government and the Health Department in Kerala."

For a Communist, the party is supreme and I went by its directive. An honour like this should have added more glory to the state. For a central committee member like me, the party is everything,” she said. The party told her that Magsaysay was against Communists and had fought against Communist guerrillas in the 1950s, the report added. So we decided not to accept it,” he told reporters in Delhi. Both Shailaja and party general secretary Sitaram Yechury later confirmed the development.

As the party declined permission to her to receive the Award, Shailaja wrote to the Foundation expressing her inability to accept the award. “In its e-mail to the former minister, notifying her of being selected for the international honour, the foundation asked her to convey her willingness to accept the award, in writing,” the report says. Kerala had won global recognition for its effective handling of the Nipah outbreak and the Covid pandemic during her tenure,” says the report.

The Ramon Magsaysay Award was established in 1957 by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) to honour the late President of the Philippines who died in a plane crash in March 1957. Also, this award is in the name of Magsaysay, who has a history of brutal oppression of the Communists in the Philippines. “This is a collective effort of the Left Democratic Front government and the Department of Health in the state. Shailaja further stated that what the Foundation had shortlisted her for was in fact part of a collective effort in the state’s healthcare field. The CPI(M) is reportedly of the opinion that accepting this award may backfire on the party in the long run. While confirming that she was shortlisted for the award, Shailaja, however, denied the allegation that the move to turn it down was a unilateral decision by the party.
The Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation had selected Shailaja for her handling of the Nipah and Covid-19 outbreaks in Kerala.

I thanked them and politely refused.” Former Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja has declined to accept the 2022 Magsaysay Award for her handling of the Nipah and Covid-19 outbreaks in the state, PTI reported on Sunday.
