TMC MLA in West Bengal dies of COVID-19
Trinamool Congress MLA, Tamonash Ghosh, who tested positive for COVID-19 in May has succumbed to the illness. Ghosh breathed his last in a hospital earlier this morning.
Ghosh, 60, was three-time MLA from the Falta assembly constituency in South 24 Parganas district.
He had several complications related to the heart and the kidney, the sources said.
"Very, very sad. Tamonash Ghosh, 3-time MLA from Falta & party treasurer since 1998 had to leave us today. Been with us for over 35 years, he was dedicated to the cause of the people & party. He contributed much through his social work," West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee tweeted.
"He has left a void that will be difficult to fill. On behalf of all of us, heartfelt condolences to his wife Jharna, his two daughters, friends and well-wishers," she added.
