Gift Deeds Bill, an amendment to the Kerala Land Reforms Act, was passed by the Koya ministry.[3] It validated gifts from owners with surplus land to their children or children of deceased children executed between 1 January 1970 and 5 November 1974.[3] The amendment reduced the redistributive potential of the Kerala land ceiling legislations.[3]
The ministry was formed after the resignation of the P. K. Vasudevan Nair ministry in October, 1979.[1] The coalition was supported by Kerala Congress K. M. Mani Group and P. J. Joseph Group. Kerala Congress K. M. Mani Group withdrew its support for the coalition in mid-November, 1979. When the Congress A. K. Antony Group withdrew its support for the coalition, Koya lost his Legislative Assembly majority, and resigned in December, 1979. The Koya ministry lasted 1 month and 20 days.[1]
After a brief President's Rule, it was succeeded by the first E. K. Nayanar ministry (25 January 1980).[1]
