Pune, Jan. 6 -- State Higher and Technical Education Minister and BJP leader Chandrakant Patil visited Kalmadi's residence in Kothrud and paid his last respects.
Former Member of Parliament from Pune and senior Congress leader, former union Minister Suresh Kalmadi, passed away on Tuesday, leaving behind a significant legacy in the city's social, cultural, and sports sectors.
Speaking on the occasion, Patil said, Kalmadi played an important role in Pune's social and public development. Through the Pune Festival, he enriched the city's cultural life, while the Balewadi Sports Complex stands as a major contribution to the sports sector. With his demise, Pune has lost a visionary personality who shaped its social and cultural fabric.
