Former Gujarat Chief Minister Keshubhai Patel died today in an Ahmedabad hospital at the age of 92. Mr Patel was brought to the city’s Sterling Hospital in an unconscious state in the morning following a cardiac arrest, ANI reported.
“We tried to revive him but couldn’t…He was declared dead at 11:55 am. He didn’t die due to Corona,” said Dr Akshay Kiledar of Sterling Hospital. Mr Patel had earlier tested positive for COVID-19 but recovered later.
Keshubhai Savdasbhai Patel served as Chief Minister of Gujarat for a few months in 1995 and then from March 1998 to October of 2001, succeeded by Narendra Modi. In 2012, Mr Patel quit the BJP to form the Gujarat Parivartan Party, which later merged with the BJP.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeting on his personal Twitter handle, expressed sadness at Mr Patel’s death.
Our beloved and respected Keshubhai has passed away…I am deeply pained and saddened. He was an outstanding leader who cared for every section of society. His life was devoted towards the progress of Gujarat and the empowerment of every Gujarati.
