Trinamool Congress MLA and the party’s treasurer Tamonash Ghosh passed away at a hospital in West Bengal. He was 60. The MLA had tested positive for Covid-19 some weeks back.

Ghosh was a three time MLA from Falta, an administrative division and part of the Vidhan Sabha Constituency in South 24 Parganas district, a few kilometres south of Kolkata.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took to Twitter to console the death of the leader.

“Very, very sad. Tamonash Ghosh, 3-time MLA from Falta & party treasurer since 1998 had to leave us today. Been with us for over 35 years, he was dedicated to the cause of the people & party. He contributed much through his social work,” she tweeted.

Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar also put out a tweet condoling the death of the TMC leader: “Sad at the demise of 3-time Falta MLA Tamonash Ghosh. He was an experienced leader with promising prospects in times to come...Heartfelt Condolences to his wife, two daughters, friends and well wishers.”

Earlier this month, Tamil Nadu politician J Anbazhagan, one of the DMK's most prominent faces in the State, died in Chennai after battling Covid-19 for over a week.
