Das passed away at his residence at Baripada in Odisha’s Mayurbanj district today. He was 81.
He was elected as an MLA of Baripada constituency from a Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) ticket in 2004.
The veteran leader also served as a president of Urban Cooperative Bank in Baripada before he was elected to the State Assembly.
A pall of gloom has descended over Mayurbhanj district following the demise of Das.
