Afp, New Delhi
Former Indian prime minister Chandra Shekhar, who served briefly during a period of political turmoil, died Sunday from a blood-related illness at the age of 80, a report said. Shekhar died of a blood disease after being ill for three months, the Press Trust of India reported. The socialist politician became the eleventh prime minister of India in 1990 after splitting from his Janata Dal party and formed an unsteady coalition government under a new party that collapsed within eight months.
