Governor Santosh Gangwar expressed his sympathies to the family of Jharkhand Minister Ramdas Soren, who passed away Friday after being treated in Delhi for injuries from a recent fall.

Speaking to reporters, Gangwar said,"It is very unfortunate. I went to meet him one week ago... My sympathies are with his family at his time."

Congress leader Rajesh Thakur also expressed grief over his passing. Calling it an irreparable loss, he said Soren was a straightforward, simple, polite, and honest person who worked sincerely in the field of education.

"This is sad news for us and an irreparable loss for the entire state. He was a straightforward, simple, polite, and honest person who worked sincerely in the field of education. He was making efforts to bring about better reforms in education... He suddenly collapsed and then remained in the hospital for a long time, but when the news of his demise came, it was certainly sad news for us," Thakur said.

Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren confirmed the news on X, writing, "You shouldn't have left like this, Ramdas Da... Final Johar, Dada."

Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar also conveyed his condolences. In an X post he wrote, "I am deeply saddened to hear the news of the sudden demise of Shri Ramdas Soren, Jharkhand's Minister of School Education and Literacy. His passing is an irreparable loss to the state. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his bereaved family and pray that God grants them the strength to bear this immense grief."

The Minister sustained serious injuries after a fall in the bathroom at his residence on August 2.

He was first admitted to a hospital in Jamshedpur before being airlifted to Delhi the same day. He was placed on life support and treated by a multidisciplinary team of senior specialists.

While it's sad, I wonder why such VIPs get airlifted immediately while common people struggle for basic healthcare. The system needs to change for everyone.

The CM's emotional tweet "Final Johar, Dada" shows how deeply respected he was across party lines. In these polarized times, such unity in grief is rare and touching.

Bathroom falls are more dangerous than people realize, especially for elders. Maybe government should run awareness campaigns about bathroom safety measures. A fitting tribute would be continuing his education initiatives.

The fact that he was described as "simple and honest" by opposition leaders speaks volumes about his character. In Indian politics, such compliments are rare and must have been earned.
