Domnalal Korsevada, a senior BJP legislator from Chhattisgarh, has died while receiving treatment in Hyderabad, sparking widespread mourning.
Durg, October 30 (Daily Kiran) : Domnalal Korsevada, a prominent BJP legislator from the Ahivara constituency in Durg district, Chhattisgarh, has passed away. He was undergoing treatment at Yashoda Hospital in Hyderabad and succumbed to his illness after several days of hospitalization.
His death has sent shockwaves through the political and social spheres, with supporters and well-wishers in Ahivara, Durg-Bhilai, and the state capital Raipur expressing deep sorrow.
Korsevada was regarded as one of the senior and experienced leaders of the Chhattisgarh BJP. Before entering politics, he dedicated many years to the field of education. After retiring as a lecturer in 1998, he ventured into active politics.
In 1999, he served as a personal assistant to the then Member of Parliament from the Durg constituency, playing a significant role in public life.
Korsevada first entered the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly in 2008 after winning the Ahivara seat on a BJP ticket. However, the party faced defeats in the subsequent elections of 2013 and 2018 in that constituency.
In the 2023 assembly elections, the BJP once again placed its trust in him. He achieved a remarkable victory by defeating Congress candidate Nirmal Kosre by a margin of 25,263 votes, securing a total of 96,717 votes against Kosre’s 71,454.
During his first term as a legislator, Korsevada was appointed chairman of the Chhattisgarh Development Authority in 2010, a position that granted him the status of a cabinet minister.
He also held significant responsibilities within various assembly committees. After being re-elected in 2023, he was entrusted with roles in the assembly’s library committee and other committees.
In October 2025, the Chhattisgarh government appointed him vice-chairman of the Scheduled Caste Development Authority, a position he took on in November 2025.
Born on August 12, 1948, Korsevada earned his postgraduate degree in political science from Pandit Ravi Shankar Shukla University in Raipur, along with a B.Ed degree.
His contributions to education, social service, and politics have been noteworthy. The passing of Domnalal Korsevada is considered a significant loss for Chhattisgarh’s political landscape.
