Bhubaneswar, 19th Sept. Bishnu Charan Sethi, a senior Odisha BJP leader, died on Monday at a state-run hospital where he was getting treatment for kidney problems. He was 61.
On August 16, the deputy leader of the assembly was admitted to AIIMS, Bhubaneswar.
“He had developed lung infection and suffered brain haemorrhage. However, the end came due to acute cardiac failure,” S N Mohanth, Superintendent of AIIMS-Bhubaneswar, told reporters.
Sethi, a two-term legislator from Bhadrak, was the sitting MLA from the Dhamnagar assembly segment.
He is survived by his wife.
Governor Ganeshi Lal and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik were among those who expressed their condolences on Sethi’s death.
With his death, the BJP has lost two of its 23 assembly members elected in the 2019 elections. Balasore MLA Madanmohan Dutta died in 2020.
