Prem Singh Chouhan (82), father of ex-chief minister of Madhya Pradesh and BJP national vice president Shivraj Singh Chouhan, died in a Mumbai hospital on Saturday, a BJP spokesperson said here.
Prem Singh Chouhan died in the afternoon at Mumbai's Lilavati Hospital, where he was admitted two days ago for an illness, he said.
The former MP CM, who was in Bhopal, rushed to Mumbai after hearing the news, he said, adding that the last rites would be conducted Sunday in their ancestral Jait village in the state's Sehore district.
