The daughter of the late Sushma Swaraj, a former chancellor and leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has posted an emotional message on Mother’s Day.
The top BJP leader died in August last year after cardiac arrest.
“Happy Mother’s Day @SushmaSwaraj. I miss you with every breath, Ma (sic),” her daughter Bansuri Swaraj tweeted on Sunday.
Sushma Swaraj had served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from May 26, 2014 to May 2019, and Swas India’s first full-time female chancellor. Indira Gandhi had additional positions in the ministry when she was prime minister.
Swaraj was replaced as foreign minister in the second term of the Narendra Modi government by former diplomat S Jaishankar.
Swaraj entered the Haryana assembly in 1977 and became minister of the state cabinet at the age of 25. She was a former Chief Minister of Delhi and had been a member of all BJP governments in the Center except the current one.
She served as Minister of Information and Outreach, as well as Minister of Health in the BJP government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee from 1998 to 2004.
She won the 2009 elections for the 15th Lok Sabha of the Vidisha Lok Sabha constituency in Madhya Pradesh and became the leader of the opposition.
Sushma Swaraj, during her term as Foreign Minister, was recognized as perhaps the most accessible minister to ordinary people, who actively sought her out when they found her in a crisis.
