Former union minister Dr Raghuvansh Prasad Singh died at AIIMS on Sunday morning. According to his son, Satyaprakash Singh, he breathed his last in ICU of AIIMS where he was admitted four days back.
Singh (74) had resigned from RJD two days back. On Thursday, his hand-written note addressed to Prasad declaring that he has had enough went viral on the social media.
On the same day, the RJD supremo sent a letter to Singh from Ranchi, making an emotional appeal to his companion for over three decades not to leave the party.
Often called the architect of the MNREGA scheme, which was floated when he was the Union minister for rural development, Singh has been in political wilderness for some time, having lost two consecutive elections in 2014 and 2019 from Vaishali which he has represented in the Lok Sabha a record five times.
His relations with Tejashwi Yadav, younger son and heir apparent of Lalu Prasad, turned sour when he started pitching for Nitish Kumar back to the Grand Alliance helmed by the RJD, after the party received its worst-ever drubbing in the Lok Sabha polls last year.
