Advani describes Bardhan as 'voice of the poor'
Senior BJP leader L.K. Advani kn his condolence message on Sunday described veteran Communist Party of India leader A.B. Bardhan as "voice of the poor".
"I am deeply grieved to learn about the passing away of A.B. Bardhan. He was fully committed to his ideology and principles. He was a leading figure of the trade union movement and a voice of the poor. He will always be remembered for his excellent oratory," Advani said in a statement here.

"I mourn A.B. Bardhan's passing away. May the departed soul rest in peace," Advani added.
