The Prime Minister, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee has expressed deep grief over the sad demise of veteran freedom fighter and former Union Minister of State and Member of Lok Sabha Jagdambi Prasad Yadav, who breathed his last at Coimbatore today.

In his message, Shri Vajpayee said that Jagdambi Prasadji was a dedicated nationalist with a strong commitment to the well-being of the downtrodden and the socially under privileged. His role in freedom struggle and later in various nation building activities particularly in the field of co-operatives, education and health-are will always be remembered. In his death, the nation has lost a political and social thinker who always fought for the cause of social justice, the rime Minister added.
