India’s main opposition party’s spokesperson Rajiv Tyagi died of heart attack minutes after a heated TV debate.
On 12 August 2020 at around 6 PM, Rajiv Tyagi, one of the leading spokespersons from the main opposition party Indian National Congress, died having a heart attack. The tragic incident happened shortly after he participated in a TV debate.
