New Delhi [India]: Former Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday paid tributes to former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit at her residence here.

Sonia laid a floral wreath on the mortal remains of former Chief Minister. She was accompanied by Congress leader Ahmed Patel.

“I will always thankfully remember the way she groomed me as a young politician and granted me valuable learning experience under her guidance! OmShanti,” Maken added in his tweet.
