Bhubaneswar: Former Lok Sabha MP Anadi Sahu died at his residence in Cuttack Saturday, family sources said.
He was suffering from old age-related ailments. Sahu was 83, they said.
Sahu was elected to the Lok Sabha twice from Cuttack constituency (1996) as a Congress candidate and Berhampur constituency (1999) on a BJP ticket.
Sahu had resigned from the IPS and contested from Cuttack Lok Sabha seat in the 1996 general elections as a Congress candidate against former Chief Minister Biju Patnaik. However, he lost the poll by 57,807 votes and later won it in a by-election.
BJP Odisha president Manmohan Samal and Leader of Opposition Jaynarayan Mishra condoled Sahu’s death.
