The former Delhi Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Sheila Dikshit passed away today at 3.30 PM in Delhi. She was taken to the hospital in the morning but the doctors couldn’t save her.

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.
