RAIPUR: Chhattisgarh’s former BJP MLA Yudhvir Singh Judev from the erstwhile royal family of Jashpur, passed away due to liver failure on Monday morning at a Bengaluru hospital. Judev, 39, was the youngest son of BJP’s former leader late Dilip Singh Judev who died in 2013.
Yudhvir’s body will be brought to Jashpur on Tuesday for last rites.
Chief minister Bhupesh Baghel in an official statement, expressed grief over Judev’s death and he extended prayers for the departed soul as well as strength to the bereaved family.
His cousin Ranvijay Singh Judev, former BJP Rajya Sabha member informed the media stating, “Yudhvir was undergoing treatment for chronic liver ailment for past few months. As his condition worsened, he was admitted at a hospital in Delhi and was then shifted to another hospital in Bengaluru.”
Yudhvir’s condition got critical on Sunday evening and he was put on ventilator support and he breathed his last around 4 am on Monday.
Yudhvir was known for his strong influence over people in Jashpur and neighbouring areas and had been popular as a young politician who was fondly called as “Chotu Baba”.
Beginning his political career as Zila Panchayat president, Yudhvir was first elected as MLA in 2008 from Chandrapur constituency from BJP.
