Ranchi: Former minister of then undivided Bihar and Congress leader Bandi Oraon died at his home in Bagicha Toli on Itki Road late on Monday night from an illness. He was 90.
Oraon was survived by his son Arun Oraon, a former IPS officer and former national vice-president of BJP, and daughter-in-law Geetashree Oraon, who is a Congress leader and former state minister.
Politicians cutting across party lines paid rich tributes to Oraon, who was an IPS officer and took voluntary retirement in 1980 while he was posted as SP of Giridih to join politics. He was a four-time Congress MLA from Gumla s Sisai assembly constituency and went on to become the planning minister in then undivided Bihar in the cabinet of former chief minister Chandrashekhar Singh. Oraon also headed the Santhal Pargana Chotanagpur Area Congress Committee between 1997 and 1998.
