Basu, 95, was hospitalised last week after a pneumonia attack and admitted to the Intensive Cardiac Care Unit of the hospital in Salt Lake, the Kolkata suburb where he lives.
Born in 1914 in Kolkata, Basu became chief minister in June 1977. He stepped down voluntarily on health grounds in November 2000.
One of the founding fathers of the CPI-M, Basu almost became India’s prime minister in 1996, but the party vetoed the proposal.
He developed breathing trouble at early morning hours and was shifted to the ventilator in the afternoon hours. He was admitted to the Salt Lake AMRI Hospital in Kolkata for the aforesaid pneumonic infection.
The death news of the iconic figure will be shocking to many of his followers as he was the pioneer of Leftist movement in India. The West Bengal Govt. is preparing for the mourning.
Jyoti Basu was the member of CPI (M) Politburo from the founding time of 1964 till 2008 and served as the longest Chief Minister of India from 1977 to 2000.
