Uttar Pradesh's Oldest MLA Dies at 90

Alam Badi Azmi, the oldest serving member of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, has died at the age of 90. Azmi was born more than five months before India became independent and lived through every phase of the country's political journey. He was a five-time MLA from Nizamabad in Azamgarh and was known for his simple lifestyle. Azmi never acquired the trappings of power that often accompany long political careers and continued to live in a modest home throughout his life. He was a member of the Samajwadi Party and was remembered for his simplicity and longevity. Azmi's death is a significant loss for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly and the country's political landscape.
