PM Modi on Sushma Swaraj's demise: Glorious chapter in Indian politics comes to an end

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday condoled the demise of former Union minister Sushma Swaraj, saying a glorious chapter in Indian politics had come to an end.

A glorious chapter in Indian politics comes to an end. India grieves the demise of a remarkable leader who devoted her life to public service and bettering lives of the poor. Sushma Swaraj Ji was one of her kind, who was a source of inspiration for crores of people.

"A glorious chapter in Indian politics comes to an end. India grieves the demise of a remarkable leader who devoted her life to public service and bettering lives of the poor. Sushma Swaraj Ji was one of her kind, who was a source of inspiration for crores of people," he tweeted.

Sushma Ji was a prolific orator and outstanding Parliamentarian. She was admired and revered across party lines.

She was uncompromising when it came to matters of ideology and interests of the BJP, whose growth she immensely contributed to.

Sushma Swaraj was rushed to AIIMS in a very critical condition and sources said that she suffered a massive heart attack. She wasn’t in the pink of health in the last few years. She even stayed away from contesting the recently-held Lok Sabha election.

An excellent administrator, Sushma Ji set high standards in every Ministry she handled. She played a key role in bettering India’s ties with various nations. As a Minister we also saw her compassionate side, helping fellow Indians who were in distress in any part of the world.

Sushma Swaraj was a diabetic and she even underwent a kidney transplant two years ago.

I can’t forget the manner in which Sushma Ji worked tirelessly as EAM in the last 5 years. Even when her health was not good, she would do everything possible to do justice to her work and remain up to date with matters of her Ministry. The spirit and commitment was unparalleled.

Former foreign minister took to Twitter last when she thanked PM Modi on the government’s decision on abolishing Article 370 that granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.

प्रधान मंत्री जी - आपका हार्दिक अभिनन्दन. मैं अपने जीवन में इस दिन को देखने की प्रतीक्षा कर रही थी. @narendramodi ji - Thank you Prime Minister. Thank you very much. I was waiting to see this day in my lifetime.

From BJP leaders Harsh Vardhan to Congress’s Sonia Gandhi, politicians have been rushing to AIIMS.

Swaraj was tagged the 'supermom' of India by Washington Post and she was always known to be a dynamic leader of the BJP, ever known for her wit on social media.
