Chhattisgarh’s first Chief Minister Ajit Jogi died on Friday after battling for life for more than 20 days. The 74-year-old bureaucrat-turned-politician suffered a cardiac arrest on Friday afternoon at a private hospital in the state capital and could not be revived.

His son Amit Jogi took to Twitter to inform that his father had passed away. He wrote, “20-year-old young Chhattisgarh has lost its father today. Not only me, but the whole of Chhattisgarh has also lost its leader and a father-figure person.”
