Seven-term Rajya Sabha MP from the Janata Dal (United) and industrialist Mahendra Prasad passed away in New Delhi.
Prasad was a seven-term Rajya Sabha MP from Bihar and was also elected to the Lok Sabha once. Prasad was first elected to the Lok Sabha on a Congress ticket in 1980. He remained associated with the party for a long time and shifted his loyalties later as its fortunes declined in the state.
