Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath has expressed deep sorrow over the untimely demise of senior
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker and Gorakhpur district vice-president
Sheshmani Tripathi. Yogi Adityanath shared a condolence message on his official
X (formerly Twitter) account, praying for peace for the departed soul and
strength for the bereaved family. Yogi Adityanath wrote: "The demise of
Shri Sheshmani Tripathi ji, District Vice President of the Bharatiya Janata
Party, Gorakhpur, is extremely saddening. My humble tributes to him. My
condolences are with the bereaved family. I pray to Lord Rama to grant the
departed soul a place at his feet and give the grieving family the strength to
bear this immense sorrow." This message was posted on
January 26, 2026, and was liked, reposted, and commented on by thousands of
people. This message from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath resonated emotionally
with BJP workers in Gorakhpur and Purvanchal. Sheshmani Tripathi was a
resident of the Pipiganj area of Gorakhpur and had been actively associated
with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for several decades. He was also
associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He had a teaching background and worked as a
teacher. He started his political career at the booth level and served as a
nominated councilor of the Pipiganj Nagar Panchayat twice. Currently, he was
the District Vice President of Gorakhpur BJP and a member of the Provincial
Council. His father, the late Ramanuj Tripathi, was a Village Development
Officer. He is survived by two sons—Abhinav Tripathi, who is a computer
operator, and Vikas Tripathi, who is a teacher. He passed away while undergoing
treatment at a cancer hospital in Lucknow, and this news proved to be very sad
for BJP workers. Sheshmani Tripathi was known for his honesty, dedication, and public
service to the party. He was quite popular in the Pipiganj and Campierganj
areas. BJP leaders expressed their
condolences. Apart from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, several other BJP
leaders also issued condolence messages. Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak
described Sheshmani Tripathi's untimely demise as heartbreaking and paid his
respects. Local leaders remembered his life and dedication and paid tribute to
him. This incident has become a matter of deep sorrow and shock among party
members. Yogi Adityanath is from Gorakhpur, and the BJP unit there is strong
under his guidance. In such a situation, his personal message on the demise of
a party worker provides strength to the party workers. This incident is a
tragic event marking the loss of an important worker in Purvanchal politics.
Sheshmani Tripathi's memory will always remain alive in the BJP organization.
