In this regard, Twitter X said, “I have been battling cancer for the past six months. Now I feel the time has come to make it public.
I will not be able to do my work during the Lok Sabha elections. I shared this with the Prime Minister. I express my gratitude to the country, Bihar and my party,” he said.
Former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has condoled the demise of Sushil Modi. In his condolence message on Twitter X, he said, “Heartfelt condolences on the demise of our dear friend, former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and former Rajya Sabha MP Sushil Kumar Modi.”
