Rajveer Diler, a sitting BJP Member of Parliament from the Hathras Lok Sabha seat, passed away following a heart attack. The entire district is immersed in grief upon the news of his demise, which occurred during treatment at Aligarh's Varun Hospital. Rajveer Singh Diler had been reportedly ill for several days. His sudden death is a significant loss to the BJP. Diler had successfully contested the Lok Sabha elections in 2019 on a BJP ticket and was a respected figure in Parliament.
Rajveer Singh Diler's father, Kishan Lal Diler, was also a four-time MP from Hathras, holding the seat continuously from 1996 to 2004. Both father and son had a deep connection to the Hathras constituency.
Did Not Receive Party Candidature This Time
It should be noted that the BJP had not given Rajveer Diler a ticket for the upcoming 2024 elections. Anoop Valmiki was fielded in his place for the Hathras seat. Despite being a strong contender, the denial of a ticket had been a source of concern for him. It's worth mentioning that before becoming an MP, Diler had also served as an MLA for Aligarh's Iglas assembly in 2017. While serving as an MLA, he contested and won in the parliamentary elections.
