- Ashok Kumar obituary
Teesside Labour MP with an unrivalled constituency recordAshok Kumar, who has died suddenly aged 53, was a diligent and committed constituency MP who had a reputation in the Labour party for achieving a record level of contact with the voters in his Middlesbrough South and Cleveland East constituency. It was a measure of his anxiety about the danger of losing his seat in the House of Commons, having first been elected at a byelection for a seat he then lost at the subsequent general election.It proved a catalyst for his political career. Every weekend he returned to Teesside from Westminster and worked on his local campaigns to promote his own political causes and those of the party. In consequence, he achieved a phenomenal 80% contact rate with his constituents, which was regarded with awe by his colleagues at Westminster and with quiet satisfaction by the residents of the seat he first won (before boundary changes) in 1991. He was modest about this achievement. He was a quiet man who was regarded as a loner in the House of Commons, which can, in any case, be a very lonely place, even for the most convivial.Kumar was born in Hardwar, India, the son of Jagat Ram Saini and Santosh Kumari, who brought him to live in Derby at the age of two. He went to Rykneld Boys' secondary modern and left with only two O-levels at the age of 15. He then found himself unable to get a job, but was rescued through an introduction to socialism from a friend, which then led to him being persuaded to return to full-time education. The story was told that he went to a local library and requested to borrow the works of Lenin, but was gently directed towards the Tribune newspaper. He became an enthusiastic leftwing socialist, whose heroes were Aneurin Bevan and Michael Foot, and when he arrived Teesside労働党無類の選挙recordAshokクマール氏は突然、53歳で死去したと、勤勉と約束選挙mpは彼のミドルスブラ韓国とクリーブランド東部の選挙区の有権者との接触の最高レベルを達成するため、労働党内で評判だった
