"My young colleague Rajeev Satav has passed away from COVID19 complications. He had been President, Youth Congress as well as MP in both Houses. He was a forceful speaker and was always well prepared. A thorough organisation man, he was integral to the Congress's revival. Tragic!," said former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh in a tweet.
