    Union Minister Suresh Angadi dies of coronavirus, PM expresses condolences
  • In a terrible piece of news, Union Minister Suresh Angadi died of coronavirus last evening, nearly two weeks after he tested positive for the highly-contagious disease.

    He breathed his last around 8 pm at the AIIMS Trauma Center, which has been converted into a coronavirus-dedicated facility to tackle the worrying spike in cases.

    The BJP leader was the Minister of States for Railways.

  • As MoS (Railways), Angadi took a keen interest in big-ticket projects. In the last few months, when coronavirus-induced restrictions were in place, he chaired several virtual meetings with Railway Minister Piyush Goyal.

    Goyal said Angadi was like a brother and he couldn't describe his commitment toward people in words.

    After the news surfaced, loyalists flocked his home in Karnataka to extend support.
