Vir Bahadur Singh was an Indian politician belonging to Indian National Congress. He was Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and Minister of Communications.
Vir Bahadur Singh was born in Gorakhpur. He participated in Quit India movement in 1942.
Political career
Vir Bahadur Singh remained Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh from 24 September 1985 till 25 June 1988.
He was appointed Union Minister of Communication in 1988, by Rajiv Gandhi.
Late Om Prakash Pandey & Mr. Brij Bhushan Singh were his close aides. Vir Bahadur Singh has delegated his political activities in Eastern Uttar Pradesh to them. They were very active budding leaders in the belt of Allahabad University, Banaras Hindu University & Purvanchal University. The political activities at the grass root i.e. "student leadership at university level" touched its zenith under the leadership of Om Prakash Pandey. The root cause of their political success was Om Prakash's populist measures towards people atrocities & swift decision making. The sudden death of Om Prakash Pandey due to unknown reason in early 1988 broke the rein of burgeoning student political water in the region. All student associations dispersed after his death as Mr. Brij Bhushan Singh who was too young to ascend the responsibility therefore withdrew from political career.
The same proved as the major set back for Vir Bahadur Singh and his political career hence losing majority in state assembly in June 1988.
