Andhra Pradesh Chief Minster N. Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday expressed deep grief over the demise of veteran CPI leader A.B. Bardhan.
Bardhan's death was an "irreparable loss" to the nation, Naidu said in his condolence message.
"Hailing from a humble background, he rose to great heights and tirelessly served the people. He was one of the few leaders who rose above politics to strive for people's welfare," the chief minister said.
The Telugu Desam Party chief recently called on the ailing leader at the G.B. Pant Hospital in New Delhi.
