Comrade Dashrath Yadav, 86, passed away on 10 Feb 2025 at his residence in Purnia. He played a significant role in expanding the party during its underground days and later as a leader of Indian People’s Front in 80s. He organised milk vendors into a robust union in Purnia and Katihar districts. This union later became associated with the IPF.
Along with martyred comrade Brijesh Mohan Thakur, he was instrumental in developing the party and IPF as a strong organisation of struggling masses in this part of Seemanchal. A revered leader, he remained the district president of the milk vendors’ union till his last.
He remained loyal to the people and the party even in the most difficult moments, always ready to help other comrades in their needs. For some time he was suffering from age related illnesses which eventually took him away from us. We pay our condolences to his bereaved family and pledge to carry forward his dream by following his exemplary life of activism. Red Salute Comrade Dashrath Yadav!
