After learning about the unfortunate demise of a late politician, the running candidate of the ongoing Lok Sabha election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has penned a heartfelt note on X which reads that “He has played an invaluable role in the rise and success of BJP in Bihar. Strongly opposing the Emergency, he made a name for himself in student politics. He was known as a very hardworking and sociable MLA. He had a deep understanding of the issues related to politics. He also did a lot of commendable work as an administrator. His active role in the passage of GST will always be remembered. My condolences are with his family and supporters in this hour of grief. Om Shanti.”
