Shiv Sena corporator Rajendra Deolekar succumbs to Covid-19
Shiv Sena MP described Devlekar
Shiv Sena leader and former mayor of Kalyan Dombivli municipal corporation, Rajendra Deolekar, 54, succumbed to Covid-19 on Tuesday night. He was hospitalized for the last few days and had been recently brought to Mumbai for intensive care after deterioration in his health.
Deolekar, a sitting corporator of Milind Nagar and Gholap Nagar in Kalyan West, is survived by his wife and two daughters.
“This is a huge loss to us; Deolekar worked on the ground level, was a learned councillor and did a lot of work for the city during his mayoral tenure as well. We have been losing many party workers who were working continuously during the pandemic; these are Covid martyrs. Deolekar’s demise is a huge loss for the city, we had personally visited him in the hospital a few days ago and were hoping he would get better soon,” said Shrikant Shinde, Shiv Sena MP from Kalyan Constituency.
