Dalmiya a giant among sports administrators, says Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee tonight condoled the passing away of BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya, describing him as a 'giant' amongst sports administrators.

"Sad. Jagmohan Dalmiya ji passes away. He was a giant amongst sports administrators, a true lover of Bengal. On my way to pay my respect. RIP," Banerjee tweeted.

The 75-year-old Dalmiya, who was hospitalised on Thursday night following chest pain, passed away tonight.
