Former Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Modi passed away on Monday after battling renal cancer. Sources in the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) said the BJP leader breathed his last at 9.45pm at the hospital. In April, Modi had announced that he had been suffering from cancer and had requested the party to relieve him of assignments related to the ongoing Lok Sabha elections.
