Freedom fighter and member of the first Lok Sabha, Kandaala Subrahmanya Tilak, died here today, sources close to his family said.
He was 98.
Tilak, who took part in India's freedom struggle including the Salt Satyagraha, was elected to the first Lok Sabha in 1952 from Vizianagaram constituency.
He died of old age, the sources said.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu expressed grief over Tilak's death.
