Kolkata: Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, veteran Left leader and former West Bengal Chief Minister, died at his south Kolkata residence yesterday morning. He was 80.
He is survived by his wife Meera and son Suchetan. Bhattacharjee breathed his last at his flat at Palm Avenue from where he once ran the State. His organs will be donated for medical research as per his wishes.
He had been suffering from respiratory problems that led to frequent hospitalisations. Last year, he had to be put on life support after he contracted pneumonia. But he had made a comeback.
