'Irreparable loss to Indian politics': Former JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav passes away at 75

New Delhi: Veteran politician and former JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav died on Thursday at a private hospital in Gurugram, family sources said. He was 75. He is survived by his wife, a daughter and a son. A statement from the Fortis Memorial Research Institute said Yadav was brought to the emergency ward in an unconscious and unresponsive state. “On examination, he did not have any pulse or recordable blood pressure. He underwent CPR as per ACLS protocols. Despite best efforts, he could not be revived and was declared dead at 10.19 pm,” the statement said. Yadav’s associates said he collapsed at his Chhatarpur residence on Thursday night and was taken to Fortis hospital in Gurugram but could not be saved. The veteran socialist leader had been suffering from kidney-related issues for a long time and regularly underwent dialysis. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed condolences over Yadav’s demise. “Pained by the passing away of Shri Sharad Yadav Ji. In his long years in public life, he distinguished himself as MP and Minister. He was greatly inspired by Dr. Lohia’s ideals. I will always cherish our interactions. Condolences to his family and admirers. Om Shanti,” he tweeted.

Serving the country as a former Union minister and an outstanding Parliamentarian for decades, he strengthened the politics of equality,” Kharge said in a tweet in Hindi.
