We always called him Sunu Da. He was a seven-time legislator from Ramanagar. The entire Tripura is aware of how he used to help people, which was his nature. I have never seen such a leader in Tripura before. He also served as a minister. He was also an MLA for BJP two times. When he was admitted to ILS Hospital, I went there and met him. For a long time, he was suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). But when I met him, he said, &#8216;Don\u2019t worry, I will not die.&#8217; Then for better treatment, we sent him to Kolkata, but ultimately, he was no more. A shadow of deep grief descends over the state. Nobody will fulfill this gap. I have a good relationship with his family as well. His demise is an irreparable loss in the state&#8217;s political arena. May the departed soul find eternal peace! My deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a mark of respect to him, the state government has announced a one-day state mourning on Thursday.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agartala : Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha paid his last respects to veteran politician and seven-time MLA Surajit Datta at the Secretariat in Agartala on Thursday.
