Former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal passed away on Tuesday at a private hospital in Mohali.He was 95.
Badal was hospitalised for the past few days and was suffering from breathing problem.
Badal was the oldest candidate in the electoral fray in the country in the state elections in 2022, but lost to AAP’s first timer Gurmeet Singh Khudian (son of late MP Jagdev Singh Khudian). This was Badal’s 13th Assembly election. After the election results, Badal was hardly politically active in the area. Though he had started his thanksgiving tour in Lambi, it too was cancelled midway. Thereafter, he either spent time at his residences at Badal village and Chandigarh farmhouse at Balasar village in Haryana.
