Former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi passed away at the age of 72 on Monday evening. His demise comes after he revealed in April that he was battling cancer and would not contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections due to his health condition.
The mortal remains of Sushil Kumar Modi will be brought to his residence in Patna's Rajendra Nagar area tomorrow, May 14, where last rites will be performed later in the day.
Condolences poured in from several political figures, including Bihar's incumbent deputy chief ministers Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, who expressed their grief and extended sympathies to Sushil Kumar Modi's family.
"Heartfelt tribute to former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and former Rajya Sabha MP Shri Sushil Kumar Modi ji on his demise. This is an irreparable loss for Bihar BJP. Om Shanti Shanti," tweeted Samrat Choudhary.
"Sushil Modi ji is no more among us. This is an irreparable loss for the entire BJP family as well as workers like me. He will always be remembered for his organisational skills, administrative understanding, and his deep knowledge of social-political issues. May God grant eternal peace to the departed soul and give strength to the family in this hour of grief," expressed Vijay Kumar Sinha.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tej Pratap Yadav also extended his condolences on social media, saying, "Sushil Kumar Modi is no more among us. May God grant eternal peace to the departed soul and provide strength to the family in this hour of grief."
