Kunwar Sarvesh Singh, known for his strong leadership and business acumen, hailed from the Thakur caste. Prior to his tenure as an MP, he served as an MLA four times from the Thakurdwara Assembly seat.

Singh’s political journey was marked by significant contributions, including his involvement in the loudspeaker controversy in the Kanth assembly constituency in 2014. Despite his illness, he remained committed to serving his constituents until his last days.
The passing of Kunwar Sarvesh Singh casts a shadow over the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, particularly in the Moradabad constituency, where he was a prominent figure. His absence will be deeply felt by his supporters and colleagues alike.
