“Feel little sad to see a competent minister leaving all of a sudden. Hope it is only for health reasons & carries no political meanings & differences when we find it identical with @arunjaitley ji. Both were important during Vajpaiji-Advaniji era & considered very close to them," another said.

Swaraj, a veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, didn't contest 2019 Lok Sabha Elections. The current EAM portfolio is held by former foreign secretary S Jaishankar. During her tenure, Swaraj was extremely active and popular for reaching out the Indian diaspora in trouble and helping them.
