BJP president Amit Shah Thursday condoled the death of Congress veteran Narayan Dutt Tiwari, describing him as a pillar of value-based politics and said his demise was an irreparable loss to Indian politics.
Tiwari died at a private hospital in Delhi Thursday after prolonged illness. He was 93.
He was an outstanding politician and a social worker, Shah said in a statement.
The BJP chief recalled Tiwari's tenure as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, besides as a parliamentarian and later as a governor, and said he always remained the voice of the people.
"He will always live in the hearts of people for the works he has done," Shah said, noting that Tiwari had also fought against the British during the freedom struggle.
