BJP MLA Manvendra Singh (70) died on January 5 following a prolonged illness at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) in New Delhi. He was a legislator from Dadraul Assembly constituency in Shahjahanpur district of Uttar Pradesh.
Singh, who spent a major part of his political career in the Congress, joined the BJP ahead of the 2017 Assembly election and won the Dadraul seat by over 17,000 votes defeating Rammurti Verma, a Samajwadi Party (SP) veteran and four-time MLA. He retained the seat in the 2022 State election.
