Brahmpura was recently appointed as patron of the Shiromani Akali Dal when party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal announced reconstitution of the core committee.
Several senior party leaders including SAD chief Badal, former union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Bikram Singh Majithia expressed grief over the demise of Brahmpura.
Brahmpura, a four-time MLA, had also represented Khadoor Sahib Lok Sabha constituency from 2014 till 2019. He was often called ‘Majhe Da Jarnail’ (General of Majha).
