The former union minister Sushma Swaraj visited the residence of Sheila Dikshit on Sunday morning to pay her respects. Swaraj had posted a message of condolence on social media on Saturday as news of Dikshit's death became public, writing that they were "opponents in politics but friends in personal life".
"I am sorry to know about the sudden demise of Sheila Dixit ji. We were opponents in politics but friends in personal life. She was a fine human being. #SheilaDixit," Ms Swaraj wrote.
The three-time chief minister and senior Congress leader, who gave Delhi its modern look, passed away at 3.55 pm on Saturday afternoon at a private hospital here after suffering a cardiac arrest.
Dikshit had served as Delhi chief minister for three consecutive terms between 1998 and 2013.
Dikshit was cremated with full state honours at the national capital's oldest cremation ground -- Nigambodh Ghat -- on Sunday. As per her wish, the Congress leader was laid to rest at the CNG run crematorium.
