New Delhi: Politicians across the political spectrum express grief over the passing away of former External Affairs Minister and senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj.
The senior BJP leader was brought to AIIMS at 10:15 PM and was straight away taken to the emergency ward.
She had a kidney transplant in 2016.
- Swaraj, who began her political career with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad in the 1970s, was a six-time MP, and a three-time MLA - twice from Haryana and once from Delhi.
- In 1977, she became the youngest Cabinet Minister in India, after she was sworn in as the Cabinet Minister in Haryana. She held eight portfolios from 1977 to 1979 including Social Welfare, Labour and Employment.
- She was the first woman external affairs minister of the country. Indira Gandhi, though, as prime minister had held the portfolio. As the external affairs minister, she struck a universal chord with her social media presence, and her timely responses.

New Delhi: Politicians across the political spectrum express grief over the passing away of former External Affairs Minister and senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj.
The senior BJP leader was brought to AIIMS at 10:15 PM and was straight away taken to the emergency ward.
She had a kidney transplant in 2016.
- Swaraj, who began her political career with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad in the 1970s, was a six-time MP, and a three-time MLA - twice from Haryana and once from Delhi.
- In 1977, she became the youngest Cabinet Minister in India, after she was sworn in as the Cabinet Minister in Haryana. She held eight portfolios from 1977 to 1979 including Social Welfare, Labour and Employment.
- She was the first woman external affairs minister of the country. Indira Gandhi, though, as prime minister had held the portfolio. As the external affairs minister, she struck a universal chord with her social media presence, and her timely responses.
