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.

A product of the movement led by Jayaprakash Narayan in the 70s, Yadav established the Janata Dal (United) in 1997 after breaking away from Janata Dal. In 2017, Sharad lost his claim over JD(U) with the Election Commission recognising the faction led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Later, he was disqualified from the Rajya Sabha after Kumar petitioned against him for indulging in “anti-party activities”. It was then, in 2018, after parting ways with JD(U), that Yadav floated the LJD.

Shri Sharad Yadav was brought to the emergency at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram 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. We would like to convey our deepest condolences to his family, read the statement releasd by Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon.
