On Tuesday, leaders across the political spectrum paid glowing tributes to late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, describing her as a "towering figure" in Indian politics.
Mourning the demise of his Tamil Nadu counterpart, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced one-day state mourning as a mark of respect to the departed leader.
Paying rich tributes to Jayalalithaa, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad described her as a pro-poor, popular, bold and result-oriented leader of the country.
"My sincere prayers and thoughts are with people of Tamil Nadu, well wishers and family. #Amma did a lot for marginalized, farmers and poor. RIP," he said.
