Former Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi passed away on Monday after a long battle with cancer.
Bihar deputy chief minister Samrat Chaudhary posted on social platform X,”Humble tribute to former Bihar deputy chief minister and ex-Rajya Sabha MP Shri Sushil Kumar Modi ji on his demise. It is an irreparable loss for Bihar.”
Last month, Sushil Modi had announced that he would not be participating in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) campaign for the Lok Sabha elections due to his illness.
पिछले 6 माह से कैंसर से संघर्ष कर रहा हूँ । अब लगा कि लोगों को बताने का समय आ गया है । लोक सभा चुनाव में कुछ कर नहीं पाऊँगा ।
PM को सब कुछ बता दिया है ।
देश, बिहार और पार्टी का सदा आभार और सदैव समर्पित |— Sushil Kumar Modi (मोदी का परिवार ) (@SushilModi) April 3, 2024
“I have been battling cancer for the last six months. Now, I feel that the time has come to inform people about it. I will not be able to do anything for Lok Sabha elections,” he had posted on X.
