Shambhajirao Kakade, veteran Janata Party leader and former Member of Parliament from Baramati Lok Sabha seat, died due to age-related ailments in his Pune home on Monday morning, family members said.
He was 90 and is survived by his wife, three children and their families.
Known as Lalasaheb in social and political circles, Kakade was elected to the Lok Sabha from <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/baramati+-all" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Baramati</a> in 1977 and 1984 as a Janata Party candidate.
Expressing grief, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said Baramati has lost a strong political personality.

माजी खा. संभाजीराव काकडे यांच्या निधनाने बारामतीतील मातब्बर राजकीय व्यक्तिमत्व हरपले. जनता दलाचे ज्येष्ठ नेते म्हणून त्यांनी राज्याच्या राजकारणावर दीर्घकाळ प्रभाव टाकला. नव्या नेतृत्वाला दिशा देण्याचे कार्य निष्ठेने केले. शोकमग्न कुटुंबीयांप्रति सहसंवेदना. भावपूर्ण आदरांजली!

"He was the veteran leader of Janata Dal and put a great impact on the state's politics. He worked towards giving direction to the new leadership," Pawar tweeted.
The last rites will be performed in Pune later in the day, Kakade's kin said.
