After switching to the Congress, Dhanorkar was fielded by the party against a veteran BJP leader Hansraj Ahir, the then-sitting MP of Chandrapur, in the 2019 General Elections. Chandrapur’s contest was a surprising one, as the first-time runner, Dhanorkar proved to be a giant killer by defeating a former Union Minister.
Saddened to hear about the sudden demise of Sh. Suresh Dhanorkar ji, INC MP from Chandrapur.
My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and his party colleagues, wishing them lots of strength to cope with their loss. Prayers for the departed, Om Shanti.— Priyanka Chaturvedi🇮🇳 (@priyankac19) May 30, 2023
Dhanorkar is survived by his wife, Pratibha Dhanorkar, Congress MLA from the Warora-Bhadrawati assembly constituency.
