Condolences to her family and supporters.
— Narendra Modi July 20, 2019 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 to combat pollution.
My condolences to her family & the citizens of Delhi, whom she served selflessly as a 3 term CM, in this time of great grief. — Rahul Gandhi July 20, 2019 She was chief minister of Delhi during the anti-corruption movement started by Anna Hazare in 2011 and was widely criticized for her government's handling of the protests. She was also in power during the 2012 Delhi gang rape case. Thousands of protesters gathered at India Gate and clashed with law enforcement officials. Rahul Gandhi, senior leader of the Congress Party, also paid his condolences Saturday.
Are there any videos of realDonaldTrump expressing his condolences?
D is pronounced like ‘the’ in Hindi / Sanskrit. The root of the surname is ‘diksha’. The meaning of surname is ‘ well / highly knowledgable / EXPERT. ONLY IGNORANT AND UN-KNOWLEDGABLE can make fun and laugh.
Again, why should we care? It’s that what the news in? Picking distractions and explaining to us why we should care?
Sheila Condolences to family and friends
Lol
😢
Sad news for sure and I hope the lady rests in peace. Meanwhile... In the UK we'll be seeing our own Dipshit becoming PM.
I am so grateful I don't have to go e the eulogy at Sheila Dikshits funeral. I'd die and crawl right on top of that funeral pyre along side her.
😂 OMG, I just saw the lady's name, (my co dolences to her family and the people of India. Take co. Fort that there are two Indian female politicians both vyi g to be the first Lady POTUS. They're both American Dikshits in spirit & in many other qualities. RIPDIKSHIT
The seco dp person I thought of was also wrong, but more of a disappointment then an actual wrong guess since she is actually 50% Indian.
When I saw 'Veteran Indian Legislator has died...' I don't know why, but the first person that popped into my head was totally wrong.
Other than respecting her age, there is nothing more to say good abt her or shower some respect. So many, so so many women were molested during her reign as CM! And she never condemned it or showed any concern until Nirbhaya hpnd! Nyways, RIP n may all those women forgive you!
Most unfortunate name. Ever.
😯 that name!
Trump should have ditched, milktoast Pence and ran with her. Trump Dikshit. It's got a good ring to it.
Poor lady
turns out shiela kapoor (maiden name) married into a long line of political Dikshit's....😂
Canned laughter picks up

Sounds like a medical condition and not a pleasant one. RIP Ms. Dikshit.
May God rest her soul
She must have a lot of relatives in the US because I know there's a lot of dikshits here.
Great, now I feel like a dick.
CNN you’ve been hacked 😮🤣
Hall of Fame name right there. RIP
That's the face of a woman who's heard jokes about her name for far too long.
At first i laughed i must admit
Scam
Okay, the last name is just too much. Sorry.
hadi beee
RIP. Horrible last name though.
I mean....come on now
I thought it was a fake headline then I saw CNN. RIP Dikshit.
Good thing the line of succession is strong, with deputy FartCunt and speaker TwatButt

She was a Dikshit.
Peep her name😂😂😂
Well at least her last name wasn’t Dipshit! :)
My condolences to the.. To her family...
Umm
Pole
Dikshit...dikshit...dik...sh....
If only she could have run with Rick Santorum
I am sad to see Dikshit go. I love Dikshit. Diskhit is the best. If I could, I would wallow in Dikshit.
Twinsies!! We have a ton of Dikshit politicians too, India!!!
I’m sorry I couldn’t help but chuckle, Rest In Peace...
You gotta be Dikshitting me
In the context of Indian perception she was a performer, not a politician.
My sympathies to the dikshits..rip ;- /
Nobody feel bad for laughing. CNN knows what they did.
Probably shouldn't say her last name with a Scottish accent hahaha haha
That's a really unfortunate surname..... I shudder to think what her teen years must have been like if she attended an english-medium school
I am not falling into CNN’s trap.
It's normally spelt Dixit - no idea why her parents did this to her...
I’ll let ChipChipperson deal with this one.
Why do I think of Trump when I hear that name?
I’m sorry for Sheila’s passing But Aoc said Sheila has she in it and should be shimila
That's what I call my ex gf.
PamelaVoorhee10 nothing to see here...
It's Trump's fault
It's a shitty name.🤣
Dikshit
My condolences to all the Dikshits.
Dikshit tho? I'm sorry. I can't stop laughing lol
May her precious soul RIP.
CNN posted this for laughs
I’m going to hell, I laughed. A lot more than I’m willing to admit 😂
Gone too soon 😢
Who? Why is this news?
I mean rip but...
Really trying to be an adult about this.
I laughed....
May Mrs. Dikshit’s memory be internal
