Subash Chauhan, who was the torchbearer of a new brand of politics in Odisha, is no more with us. He left for his heavenly abode today. He was the quintessential ideological warrior who always respected his ideological rivals.
He harboured no animosity even towards his trenchant critics. I knew him for almost two decades when he was in the RSS and Bajrang Dal. A self-made person, he personified grit, determination and tremendous willpower.
He contested the 2014 LS polls on a BJP ticket & lost by a very narrow margin. Later he joined BJD before the 2019 polls and appointed recently as Western Odisha Development Council chairman. His life was cut short before he could give a new direction to WODC. He was an extremely warm, amiable & generous person who held no grudge against anyone, twitted senior Journalist Soumiyajit Patnaik.
