Bangalore:
Ashok Gasti, a BJP Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka, died of the deadly coronavirus today, just months after he was nominated to the upper house.
The 55-year-old was from Raichur in north Karnataka and was previously a booth-level worker.
After his election in June this year, Mr Gasti did not get a chance to attend Parliament due to the pandemic. He was a first-time Rajya Sabha member.
