BJP MP Rajveer Diler of Hathras Passes Away Due to Heart Attack

Tragic news emerged as Rajveer Diler, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament representing Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, succumbed to a heart attack on Wednesday. His unexpected demise comes amidst political transitions, as the BJP had opted not to field him as a candidate for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Rajveer Diler, a prominent figure in Uttar Pradesh politics, was found unconscious at his residence in Aligarh before being rushed to the hospital, where medical professionals declared him deceased. The untimely passing of Diler, who had previously served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly from Iglas in 2017, marks a significant loss for the BJP, particularly in the Hathras constituency.
