New Delhi: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Wednesday paid her last respects to former external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj at the latter's residence in Delhi. Swaraj passed away due to a cardiac arrest on Tuesday night.

"Sushma Swaraj ji's demise personally saddens me. She was an able politician, administrator and a good orator. Her personality was very friendly, even with members of the opposition. I pray to nature to give her family the strength to cope with this loss," Mayawati told reporters in New Delhi.
