# Senior BRS leader Tajuddin dies of heart stroke at 48 2026-08-27T06:47:31+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Senior BRS leader and former minority wing district president Mohammed Tajuddin died of a heart stroke while undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Khammam late Monday night. He was 48. Former minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar expressed deep shock and paid rich tributes, saying Tajuddin's death was an irreparable loss to the party, the Muslim minority community and his family. He recalled Tajuddin's services and assured his family the BRS party would always stand by them. Party leaders draped the party flag over Tajuddin's mortal remains and paid homage. MP Vaddiraju Ravichandra, MLC Tata Madhusudhan, ex-MP Nama Nageswara Rao, ex-MLA Banoth Chandravathi, and several other leaders also extended condolences. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Tajuddin, who died at 48, was active in Khammam district politics for over two decades. The BRS has seen a string of senior leaders pass away in recent years. In a closely fought state where minority voters make up about 12% of the electorate, the loss of a community-facing organiser like Tajuddin creates a local organisational gap that the party will need to fill. The BRS is expected to appoint a replacement minority wing district president in the coming weeks. ## Coverage - telanganatoday.com Straight obituary with no editorial comment beyond listing who paid tribute This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
