He had returned to Bengaluru only recently after undergoing treatment in the US and Britain. BJP sources said the body of Kumar will be kept at the National College Ground in Bengaluru for public homage.

The National Flag will fly at half mast throughout the country today. A State funeral will be accorded to the departed leader.

Ananth Kumar represented the Bengaluru South parliamentary constituency six times since 1996. He joined the BJP in 1987 and never looked back, as he held posts of state secretary, state president of the Yuva Morcha, general secretary and national secretary.

Kumar is among a few party leaders who can be credited for the growth of BJP in Karnataka, as they built the party and bringing it to power in 2008, making it the first saffron party government in South India. He is survived by his wife and 2 daughters.

In a tweet, President Kovind said, it is a tragic loss to public life in the country and particularly for the people of Karnataka.
