Jharkhand: Former Congress MP Tilakdhari Singh dies

Senior leaders from the Congress and other political parties expressed their condolences on Singh’s demise.

Jharkhand Congress president Keshav Mahto Kamlesh described Singh as a down-to-earth leader.

“From serving as a mukhiya, he rose to become a parliamentarian. He won the Koderma Lok Sabha seat twice for the Congress under challenging circumstances. The void left by his passing cannot be filled,” Kamlesh said.

Singh was elected as a Congress legislator from Dhanwar assembly seat in 1980. He later won the Koderma Lok Sabha seat in 1984 and 1999.
