In a blow to the Congress party in Maharashtra, its lone Lok Sabha member, Chandrapur MP Suresh Dhanorkar, also known as ‘Balu’ Dhanorkar, passed away at Gurugram’s Medanta Hospital early on Tuesday morning, party sources said. He was 47.
Mr. Dhanorkar had been admitted to a Nagpur-based hospital last week for treatment of kidney stones. However, his condition worsened and he was moved to the National Capital Region in an air ambulance on Sunday.
