Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former Union External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj passed away on Tuesday night at the age of 67. Swaraj, a firebrand leader, was known for her approachability among the opposition parties and the commoners as well.
During her tenure as Foreign Minister, Swaraj managed to effectively transform Twitter as a helpline platform for the Indian citizens. Whether it is reuniting someone with their family or issues related to passports, Swaraj set the bar high for future Ministers to help out citizens in trouble.
Here are the seven times Swaraj proved to stand out and registered herself to become one of the most effective cabinet ministers:
