Kolhapur, Dec 2 (UNI) Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday paid homage to Congress MLA from Kolhapur-North Chandrakant Jadhav, who passed away this morning at a private hospital in Hyderabad from lung infection.
In an official release, Mr Thackeray said that Mr Jadhav initially made a name for himself as a footballer and then became an entrepreneur before entering politics. He was a perfect example of an entrepreneur-politician who managed to strike a balance between the two. It is indeed very distressing to lose such an esteemed colleague at this time.
Meanwhile, state Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar also paid tributes to Mr Jadhav, saying that it was a shocking news for him and a big loss to Maha Vikas Aghadi government.
