BJP MLA from Nighasan, Patel Ram Kumar Verma, passed away Sunday at a hospital in Lucknow after prolonged illness.
He was 64.
District BJP president Sharad Bajpai said he died in a private hospital in Lucknow on Sunday.
Patel was the PWD (Public Works Department) minister in 1991 and cooperative minister in 1997 in UP.
