I don't often make RIP threads but I saw this story and thought that it had to be shared, RIP Sheila Dikshit. :(

Dikshit was born in the city of Kapurthala in the northern state of Punjab, and became the longest-serving chief minister for the capital territory, in office from 1998 to 2013.
She is widely credited with transforming New Delhi's infrastructure by improving public transport in the city and introducing buses powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) to combat pollution.
Dikshit joined the Congress Party in 1984, and later led it to an unprecedented consecutive three-term victory in Delhi.
