I’m devastated to hear about the passing away of Shiela Dikshit Ji, a beloved daughter of the Congress Party, with whom I shared a close personal bond. My condolences to her family & the citizens of Delhi, whom she served selflessly as a 3 term CM, in this time of great grief.

Learnt in Dallas Texas that Shiela Dixit has suddenly passed away. A lady with dignity and wit who I first knew when she was Minister in Rajiv Gandhi’s Government and remained friends. For many years we were neighbours in Nizamuddin. The nation will miss her for a long time
