New delhi sources stated that Prime Minister Narendra modi has expressed his condolences over the death of former delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit. Meanwhile the three time chief minister was admitted to a private hospital in delhi Saturday morning where she died of cardiac arrest in the afternoon and she was 81.
modi tweeted "Deeply saddened by the demise of Sheila Dikshit Ji. Blessed with a warm and affable personality, she made a noteworthy contribution to delhi's development. Condolences to her family and supporters. Om Shanti”. Furthermore the veteran Congress leader had served as delhi's chief minister for three consecutive terms between 1998 and 2013. She was succeeded by Aam Aadmi Party's Arvind Kejriwal. Perhaps she was credited for delhi's growing infrastructure including roads and flyovers, a less polluted city, better public transport system as well as development on the health and educational fronts.
Moreover Sheila Dikshit, after her stint as delhi chief minister, was sworn in as kerala's Governor in 2014, but resigned in just six months and she had started off as a reluctant politician, and cut her political teeth assisting her father-in-law, a veteran Uttar Pradesh Congress leader Uma shankar Dikshit, who was a minster in indira gandhi's cabinet.
