"Sushma Swaraj ji will always be remembered. She had set unforgettable and exemplary standards by working as a politician for over four decades. She was a diligent public servant. I got an opportunity to learn many things from her while she was working as the External Affairs Minister from 2014 to 2019," Yogi Adityanath said.

"She had set great examples in her political profession. She used to do all her work with great allegiance and honesty. She was known for tackling her entire team and work with them," he added.
