Krishna Bose, a former Trinamool Congress MP from the Jadavpur constituency, passed away on Saturday at the age of 89, according to hospital sources. She had been ailing for an extended period. Bose succumbed to age-related ailments at a hospital off EM Bypass at 10.20 am.
Her son, Sumantra Bose, revealed that she had been battling age-related health issues and had recently suffered her second stroke, leading to her admission to the ICU.
Krishna Bose, who was married to Sisir Kumar Bose, the nephew of Subhas Chandra Bose, was born in 1930 to constitutional studies specialist Charu Chandra Chaudhuri. She dedicated nearly 40 years to teaching at the City College in Kolkata.
She entered the political arena and was elected to the Lok Sabha in 1996, 1998, and 1999. Survived by her sons Sugata and Sumantra, and daughter Sharmila, Bose’s demise has brought several Trinamool Congress leaders and state ministers to the hospital.
The family plans to take Bose’s body to her Sarat Bose Road residence around 1 pm and then to Netaji Bhavan. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is expected to visit Netaji Bhavan, and the cremation is scheduled for the evening.
