Senior Gujarat Congress leader Deepak Babaria has passed away, dealing another blow to the party just days after the death of veteran leader Veerji Thummar. Babaria held several key organisational positions in the Congress and played an important role in strengthening the party’s presence at the state and national levels.
His death has triggered an outpouring of grief among Congress leaders and workers, who have paid tribute to his contributions to the party and his long political career.
From Workers’ Issues To National Politics
Deepak Babaria began his political journey by raising issues concerning workers and industrial unions. His strong advocacy for workers’ interests and assertive approach helped him establish a presence in Gujarat politics before taking on responsibilities at the national level.
Over the years, he held several organisational positions in the Congress, including that of general secretary. He was also entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the party’s affairs in Madhya Pradesh.
Played Key Role In Madhya Pradesh Congress
Babaria served as the Congress in-charge for Madhya Pradesh during the 2018 Assembly elections, when the party returned to power in the state under the leadership of Kamal Nath after 15 years.
His organisational experience and role in managing the party’s election strategy made him an important figure in the Congress leadership during the period.
His association with the party spanned several years, during which he took on responsibilities at different levels of the organisation.
Stayed Away From Active Politics After Brain Stroke
Babaria suffered a brain stroke in 2020 and subsequently remained away from active politics. His absence marked a significant shift for a leader who had spent years handling organisational responsibilities and advocating the party’s position on various issues.
Congress leaders and workers have expressed grief over his death and remembered his dedication to the organisation.
Second Major Loss For Gujarat Congress In Three Days
Babaria’s death comes just three days after veteran Congress leader and Amreli political stalwart Veerji Thummar passed away following an illness.
The back-to-back losses have left the Gujarat Congress mourning two experienced leaders within a short span. Both had made significant contributions to the party’s political and organisational activities in the state.
