Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) legislator Anil Babar passed away in Maharashtra’s Sangli district in the early hours of Wednesday following a brief illness. He was 74.
A four-time MLA from Sangli’s Khanapur-Atpadi Assembly constituency, Mr. Babar breathed his last at a private hospital.
Expressing grief at his demise, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said he had lost a guide and a close associate and the State has lost a true representative of the people, one who embodied the Shiv Sena’s spirit of social service.
