Gurudas Kamat had gone to Delhi for a lifetime. On Wednesday morning, he suffered a heart attack. He was admitted to Chanakyapuri Hospital in Delhi. However, he had died.
Gurudas Kamat has worked as the general secretary of Congress and is regarded as a close friend of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. He was in touch with grassroots activists in the state. He also worked as Gujarat, Rajasthan, Dadra Nagar Haveli and in charge of Diu and Daman.
For the past few years, Gurudas Kamat was angry with the party. He was upset when Rahul Gandhi gave Sanjay Nirupam a stance on Mumbai issue. He had resigned from all the posts of the party. However, after a few days, his anger broke away and he again became active in the Congress.
Gurudas Kamat entered politics in 1972 from the student movement. In 1976, he presided over the NSU. In 1984, he was elected a Member of Parliament for the first time. During the Congress-led UPA regime between 2009 and 2011, he was the Minister of State for the Union. In 2014 elections, Shiv Sena’s Gajanan Kirtikar defeated Kamat.
