Sushma Swaraj statue to be installed in Vidisha

Madhya Pradesh Prime Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced Sunday that a statue of former Union Minister Sushma Swaraj will be installed in Vidisha, the Lok Sabha constituency she represents.

To mark the anniversary of Swaraj’s birth on Sunday, Chouhan paid tribute to the late BJP leader at his residence here in the presence of some state ministers and senior party leaders.

“Swaraj’s contribution to the development of Vidisha is unmatched. A statue of Swaraj would be installed in Vidisha City Hall,” Chouhan said as he paid tribute to the former Foreign Minister.

Swaraj won against Vidisha, located about 58 km from Bhopal, in the 2009 and 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

He died on August 6, 2019, at the age of 67.

Madhya Pradesh Assembly Speaker Rameshwar Sharma, the state Minister of Medical Education Vishvas Sarang, and other BJP leaders also paid tribute to Swaraj on his birth anniversary on Sunday.
