Senior Congress party leader Banwari Lal Sharma died of cancer on Saturday. He was the legislator from Morena district of Madhya Pradesh.
The 61-year-old legislator from Jaura Assembly seat won last year by defeating the Bahujan Samaj Party candidate.
Both Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) leaders have mourned the death of Banwari Lal Sharma.
After the demise of Banwari Lal, the number of Congress MLAs in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly has come down to 114 seats in the state legislative assembly election which the party won in 2018.
