Samajwadi Partys Sudhakar Singh, MLA from Ghosi, dies at 67 after prolonged illness

In 2023, he won the Ghosi by-election with a decisive margin of more than 42,000 votes against BJP leader Dara Singh Chauhan, a result seen as a significant boost for the Samajwadi Party in the Purvanchal belt. He had represented the constituency earlier as well and was known for raising issues linked to rural development and public welfare.
