वे पिछले कई दिनों से बीमार चल रहे थे। मोदी ने अपने शोक संदेश में कहा है कि मैं अपनी निराशा को शब्दों में बयां नहीं कर सकता। हमारे राष्ट्र में एक कमी पैदा हो गई है जिसे संभवत कभी नहीं भरा जा सकेगा। उनका निधन मेरे लिए व्यक्तिगत क्षति है। मैंने एक मित्र, महत्वपूर्ण सहयोगी और ऐसे व्यक्ति को खो दिया है जो गरीबों को सम्मानजनक जीवन देने के लिए लालायित रहता था।Working together, shoulder to shoulder with Paswan Ji has been an incredible experience. His interventions during Cabinet Meetings were insightful. From political wisdom, statesmanship to governance issues, he was brilliant. Condolences to his family and supporters. Om Shanti.

Shri Ram Vilas Paswan Ji rose in politics through hardwork and determination. As a young leader, he resisted tyranny and the assault on our democracy during the Emergency. He was an outstanding Parliamentarian and Minister, making lasting contributions in several policy areas. pic.twitter.com/naqx27xBoj

I am saddened beyond words. There is a void in our nation that will perhaps never be filled. Shri Ram Vilas Paswan Ji’s demise is a personal loss. I have lost a friend, valued colleague and someone who was extremely passionate to ensure every poor person leads a life of dignity. pic.twitter.com/2UUuPBjBrj
