Just a Few Hours Before Her Death, She Posted on Twitter Thanking the Prime Minister

Just a few hours before her death, she had posted to Twitter. She thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the government’s stance on Kashmir. She wrote: ” Thank you Prime Minister. Thank you very much. I was waiting to see this day in my lifetime.”

प्रधान मंत्री जी – आपका हार्दिक अभिनन्दन. मैं अपने जीवन में इस दिन को देखने की प्रतीक्षा कर रही थी. @narendramodi ji – Thank you Prime Minister. Thank you very much. I was waiting to see this day in my lifetime. — Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) August 6, 2019

She Had a Kidney Transplant in 2016 & She Didn’t Contest a Recent General Election Because of Health Reasons

In 2016, Swaraj had a kidney transplant. She decided in December 2018 not to contest the general election in India, which she had lost, because of health reasons, Times of India reported.

At the time, she said it was because she needed to “save herself from dust and stay safe from infection,” Times of India reported. She said her health was good, but she wanted to take precautions to stay healthy. She said a big limitation to her health was the need to avoid dust.

After the swearing-in ceremony for her successor, she shared an emotional tweet. She wrote: “Prime Minister, you gave me an opportunity to serve our countrymen and overseas Indians as the Foreign Minister for five years and personally, also, gave me respect throughout my tenure. I am very grateful to you. I pray that our government becomes very successful.”

प्रधान मंत्री जी – आपने 5 वर्षों तक मुझे विदेश मंत्री के तौर पर देशवासियों और प्रवासी भारतीयों की सेवा करने का मौका दिया और पूरे कार्यकाल में व्यक्तिगत तौर पर भी बहुत सम्मान दिया. मैं आपके प्रति बहुत आभारी हूँ. हमारी सरकार बहुत यशस्विता से चले, प्रभु से मेरी यही प्रार्थना है. — Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) May 30, 2019

When Swaraj decided not to contest the elections in late 2018 so she could focus on her health, her husband posted a series of tweets thanking her for the decision, India Times reported. He wrote, in part: “I am also running behind you for the last 41 years. I am no longer a 19 year old. Please – I am also running out of breath. Thank you.”
