Uma Shankar Singh, BSP's sole MLA in Uttar Pradesh, dies at 55

Uma Shankar Singh, the Bahujan Samaj Party's sole Member of the Legislative Assembly in Uttar Pradesh, died at the age of 55. Singh was the party's last remaining representative in the state assembly following the BSP's electoral decline in recent years. His death marks a further setback for Mayawati's party, which once held significant sway in Uttar Pradesh politics but has seen its influence wane substantially.
