Kolkata, Dec 24 (IBNS): Former West Bengal minister and veteran Communist leader Nirupam Sen passed away on Monday. He was 72.

Sen, who had been suffering from kidney ailments, died of multi-organ failure at 5.10 am at a private hospital in Salt Lake, Kolkata.

Sen was the elected MLA from the Burdwan south constituency in 2001 and 2006. He lost in head in seat to Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress in 2011.

The veteran leader served as the industries minister in Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee's government.

Sen led the West Bengal government's industrial push in the state under Bhattacharjee in the later part of the Left Front rule.

The CPI-M said the former minister's mortal remains would be kept at Peace Haven now. His last rites will take place on Wednesday.

Condoling Sen's demise, West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee tweeted, "Saddened at the passing away of Nirupam Sen, former Minister of  West Bengal. Condolences to his family and well wishers"

CPI-M General Secretary Sitaram Yechury tweeted, "Lal Salam, Comrade Nirupam Sen. We lost him this morning. A dedicated Communist, who devoted his entire life to the cause of the working class and the peasantry. He served in various capacities including as a member, Polit Bureau and a senior Minister in Left Front governments."
