New Delhi [India], Aug 19 (ANI): Newly appointed interim Congress President Sonia Gandhi expressed grief over the passing away of former Bihar Chief Minister Jagannath Mishra on Monday.
"As a three-time Congress Chief Minister of Bihar, Union Cabinet Minister and PCC President on many occasions, Dr Mishra always stood for the interests of the deprived and the marginalised minorities in society. He will be remembered for a long time to come," Gandhi said.
