Senior Trinamool Congress leader Subrata Mukherjee died after prolonged illness at a state-run hospital in Kolkata on November 4, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said. Mukherjee, 75, was the state panchayat minister.
The chief minister visited the SSKM Hospital and announced that he passed away late this evening. "I still can't believe he is no longer with us. He was such a dedicated party leader. It is a personal loss for me," she said.
His mortal remains will be kept at Rabindra Sadan in Kolkata tomorrow morning for people to pay their last respects, news agency ANI quoted the Bengal CM as saying.
Subrata Mukherjee was shifted to the ICU of the hospital last week after he complained of severe breathing problems, sources at the medical facility said.
