Calling Prasad’s death as unexpected and shocking, Siddaramaiah said he was one among his closest.
“It is a huge personal loss to me and to Congress party.
He was an able administrator and a clean politician. I have lost a close friend and a wonderful colleague,” he said.
State government has declared one-day government holiday and announced three days state mourning.
Prasad was a minister in the JD(S)-BJP coalition government headed by H D Kumaraswamy during 2005-07 and quit JDS and joined the Congress.
Prasad’s son Ganesh said that the body will be taken to Gundlupete by evening and last rites will be performed tomorrow.
