Nadda paid floral tributes to the mortal remains of the former Rajya Sabha MP Yechury, who passed away at the age of 72 on Thursday, at his residence.
Sitaram Yechury passed away on 12th September at AIIMS, New Delhi.
Expressing grief over the demise of the CPM leader, she said, “I am very saddened by the passing away of Sitaram Yechury ji. We had worked closely together during 2004-08 to begin with and the friendship that had been established then continued till his very end.”
Some leaders emerge during elections, such as Lok Sabha or Assembly polls. One such person is 59-year-old Sunita, the wife of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. She has become a crucial link between her jailed husband and the party.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi paid rich tributes to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on his birth anniversary on Tuesday.
Pilot said, "Congress is an old party with the same rules for everyone, no matter how senior. I believe, Kharge Ji will soon take action."
Tharoor, who also attended the event, took to his twitter handle and posted a picture sitting with Kharge and Sonia Gandhi after the ceremony at the party headquarters.
Kharge has been given free hand to choose his new CWC Members, AICC General Secretaries and Incharges.
Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday said that she is confident that the party will be strengthened under the leadership of new chief Mallikarjun Kharge.
This comes a day after he beat his opponent Tharoor by a huge margin in the race to the party's top post, thus becoming the first non-Gandhi to take over the office after 24 years.
