New Delhi, Nov 20: Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi expressed grief
over the demise of senior party leader and former Union Minister Priya Ranjan
Dasmunsi on Monday.
In her condolence message, Ms Gandhi said that Dasmunsi was a
devout political activist and one of the tallest leaders of West Bengal in
recent times, adding that that his “immense work at the grassroots would be
remembered for posterity”. “Despite his prolonged illness, he remained popular
in imagination of his people. His death is an irreparable loss to the Congress
party and the country,” she said. She also expressed solidarity with his wife Deepa Dasmunsi,
family and supporters. Mr Gandhi also condoled the demise and in his
tweet said, “We will miss Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi ji. A brilliant political mind
and a good human being. Bengal and the Congress party have lost a tall leader.
Our thoughts are with Deepa ji today”. The former Union Minister passed
away at the Apollo Hospital at the age of 72 here. After suffering a
massive stroke in 2008, Dasmunsi was in coma since then. UNI
