New Delhi, (the states. news)
Veteran Congress
leader Motilal Vohra passed away here on Monday at the age of 93.
According to sources, Vohra was admitted to Fortis Escorts hospital on December
19 after he complained of breathlessness.
The Congress stalwart had served the party for five decades and held key
positions such as Madhya Pradesh chief minister for two times, union minister
and governor of Uttar Pradesh.
Vora was considered very close to the Congress high command. In 2014, he had
supported Rahul Gandhi’s nomination as the party’s prime ministerial candidate.
He served as the party’s treasurer for many years before late Ahmed Patel was
given the post in 2018.
Informatively, Vora had turned 93 just a day before on Sunday.
Rahul Gandhi was quick to offer his condolences. In a Twitter post, he said,
” Motilal Vora ji was a true congressman and a wonderful human being. We
will miss him very much. My love & condolences to his family and
friends.” (uni) (media saheb.com)
