New Delhi: Former AAP MLA Jarnail Singh died due to Covid-related complications on Friday. The 48-year-old, who was admitted to Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital, fought a brave battle for 12-13 days in the ICU, but eventually died after his condition suddenly deteriorated.
In a tweet, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “Deeply saddened by the untimely demise of former Delhi MLA Sh Jarnail Singh ji.May God bless his soul. He will always be fondly remembered for his contributions to the society.” Deputy CM Manish Sisodia also condoled his demise.
Singh won the assembly election from Rajouri Garden in 2015 but resigned in 2017 and contested from the Lambi seat in Punjab against now CM Amarinder Singh and former CM Prakash Singh Badal. He came third and Badal won the seat. Singh also contested the 2014 Lok Sabha polls from west Delhi parliamentary constituency, but failed to win a seat.
A journalist and an author, Singh gained media attention after he threw a shoe at former Union home minister P Chidambaram in 2009 as he was upset that some Congress members were given a clean chit in the 1984 riots case.
