He was 72. BJP lost a giant leader who had distinction of being member of all the four Houses of parliament and state legislature. Two days back, the author had received a WhatsApp message “no progress”. The tributes to the leader who started his career as Bal Sewak at Vijay Niketan Shakha Maidan, general secretary of Patna University students union, was denied his due by the contemporary leaders in his own party.

They proved unfair to Sushil ji,as he was called even by his staff. He was one of the rarest breeds of leaders who used to call back to his partymen, women and workers. His killing smile silenced even his opponents
