Rampratap Singh, a three‑time MLA from Nagod in Satna district, died at 80 in Delhi after a prolonged fight against cancer. He was renowned for his decades‑long campaign to bring Narmada water to Satna.
Rampratap Singh, aged 80, succumbed to cancer in Delhi on Wednesday, according to reports from Amar Ujala. The veteran politician had been battling the disease for an extended period before his death.
A three‑time elected member of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly from the Nagod constituency, Singh was a senior figure in Satna's political landscape. His tenure spanned several decades, during which he was known for his grassroots connection and persistent advocacy for regional development.
Singh's most defining political crusade was his lifelong effort to secure Narmada water for Satna. He led multiple delegations, engaged with state officials, and mobilised public support to push for the river's water to be diverted to the district, a cause that became synonymous with his name.
His passing marks the end of an era for local politics, and party colleagues have expressed condolences, highlighting his dedication to public service and the Narmada water project. The news was first reported by the regional daily Amar Ujala.
