Moradabad (UP): Bharatiya Janata Party's Moradabad candidate Sarvesh Singh, who was elected five times as an MLA and once as an MP, died a day after the first phase of general elections in Uttar Pradesh.
UP BJP chief Bhupendra Chaudhary confirmed the news of the death of the 72-year-old leader, whose constituency voted a day ago.
Singh had been ailing for quite some time and was undergoing treatment at a Delhi hospital, said media reports.
BJP sources told the media he had gone to AIIMS for a check-up. Earlier, he had been operated on for some problem in his throat, they said.
