Leading NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul today condoled the tragic death of Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy in a chopper crash, describing him as "an outstanding" leader who devoted his life to the people of his state and the country.
"He was a great man, an outstanding chief minister and a wonderful human being and a friend," Lord Paul, who had known Reddy for nearly three decades, said.
He said India has lost "a mass leader" who devoted his life to the people of the state and the country.
"My heartfelt condolences to the family of Reddy and four others who were killed in the helicopter crash," Lord Paul said.
