The veteran leader breathed his last at Bombay Hospital on Thursday afternoon where he was operated upon for removal of a blood clot in the brain last week.

The 83-year-old Gandhian spent nearly six decades in public life. Though he had served as the chief minister of Maharashtra and held the Finance, Defence and Planning portfolios at the Centre, he is best remembered as the Union home minister in the P V Narasimha Rao government when the Babri Masjid was demolished in December 1992.
