His contribution as the Chief Minister of Gujarat will always be remembered. He was a humble, kind person and a ground leader. I had the privilege of joining him as he was in charge of Punjab BJP. Not only has Gujarat lost a great leader in his form, but it is a personal loss for me, because I loved his gentle behavior. Their lack will be missed.

Never remember that he has spoken high. Punjab will always miss their shortage.
