Comrade Rakesh Diwakar

We are shocked and grieved to communicate that Comrade Rakesh Diwakar of Pratappur (Bhojpur) died in a tragic accident in the morning of 18 May. A high school teacher in Pavna village, he was making his daily trip to school on his bike with his friend and colleague Rajesh Kumar, when their bike was run over at Tetariya Mod by an overloaded tractor carrying sand. Both died on the spot. Tractors speed in this area to evade corrupt police who extort bribes.

Comrade Rakesh had a very cheerful and helpful nature, and he was always ready to do his bit in every party activity.

His family and the entire Bhojpur and Bihar party are devastated by his untimely demise.

Red Salute to Comrade Rakesh Diwakar!
