Mysuru: Former MLC Thontadarya paid glowing tributes to former Union Minister Sushma Swaraj who passed away last night at the condolence meeting held here this morning at BJP Party Office ‘Sachin Rajendra Bhavan’ on Devaparthiva Road, Chamarajapuram.

Sushma Swaraj was a fiery lady who had many firsts to her credit such as being the youngest Cabinet Minister in the Haryana Government, first woman Chief Minister of Delhi and the first woman Spokesperson for any national political party in the country, he said.

She had done very good work as External Affairs Minister in the Narendra Modi Government, which the whole world had taken note of and her subsequent decision not to contest in the elections were the true hallmark of her ideals and principles as a politician, he said.
