Her untimely death is a major loss to the Indian politics as she was a women of substance and always stood up for the people of India living in different parts of the world. Her diplomatic interventions have helped in saving the lives of a lot of Indian citizens who were trapped in foreign countries and people irrespective of her party lover and admired her a lot. Her departure will also mean a great loss to BJP too.
