Senior BJP leader and former External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, 67, passed away at AIIMS, Delhi due to a heart attack on Tuesday evening.

A star minister during Modi government's first stint, Sushma Swaraj did not contest the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and chose to sit out of the government this year on account of her health.

After PM Modi's swearing-in ceremony last month, Sushma Swaraj wrote an emotional message on Twitter, thanking PM Narendra Modi for giving her the opportunity to hold the office for five years.
