BJD MP Hemendra Singh passes away
Bhubaneswar, Sept 5 (IBNS): Biju Janata Dal (BJD) MP Hemendra Chandra Singh passed away on early Friday morning at a private nursing home in Bhubaneswar.
He was 46.
Singh had been admitted in AMRI Hospital since August 30 after he suffered a heart attack.
He was put on a ventilator in the intensive care unit of the hospital, but slipped into coma on Thursday after developing multiple complications.
A team of experts from AIIMS examined him and wanted to fly him to New Delhi through Air Ambulance.
But it was ruled out after his condition deteriorated. Singh died an hour past midnight 1 am on Friday due to heart failure and septicemia, media quoted doctors as saying.
Singh was elected to Parliament in the last general elections.
Born in a royal family in Nayagarh, Singh, a former Congressman, had joined the BJD in February before the elections.
He had defeated veteran Congress leader Harihar Karan by 1.81 lakh votes to win the Kandhamal Lok Sabha seat.
He is survived by his wife, a son and daughter.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed sadness over the passing away of Lok Sabha MP and extended condolences to the family of the deceased.
