We all hoped that they would come out of this crisis. But today he lost his life. BJP has lost a public representative who has knowledge of rural issues. He was always ready to solve the problems of Western Vidarbha. His constant insistence was that the problem of irrigation should be solved. His demise is my personal loss. I pay my heartfelt tribute to him. We share the grief of his family on this sad occasion. I pray to God to give the family the strength to bear this loss.
