Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar have expressed grief over the demise of veteran Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Governor Balram Jakhar.
"Dr Jakhar had maintained high democratic values in his long life and his tenure as Madhya Pradesh Governor will always remain memorable," Chouhan wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
"The death of former Governor is an irreparable loss to the country. We have lost a farmer's messiah and a true leader in him," Chouhan further said.
Tomar, Minister for Steel and Mines, said "Dr Jakhar in his capacity as Lok Sabha Speaker, Madhya Pradesh Governor and Member of Parliament had taken long lasting steps for raising their stature,".

Jakhar also served as Speaker of Lok Sabha from 1980 to 1989 during which he contributed to the establishment of Parliament Museum.
The veteran Congress leader passed away in New Delhi today at the age of 92.
Jakhar had served as Governor of Madhya Pradesh from June 30, 2004 to May 30, 2009.
