Bengaluru, Nov 12 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid his tribute to the mortal remains of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Union Minister Ananth Kumar, who passed away on Monday, in Bengaluru.

Kumar, 59, passed away in the wee hours of Monday.

Modi spent some time with Kumar's family members.

The Prime Minister tweeted saying, "In Bengaluru, I paid tributes to Shri Ananth Kumar Ji. We’ve lost an outstanding public servant, who had a positive impact on the lives of many. Also spent time with his family members."

In Modi-led government, Kumar, who was battling cancer, was holding two portfolios-Parliamentary Affairs and Chemicals and Fertilizers.

His wife and two daughters were beside him in his last moments.

Kumar had represented south Bengaluru constituency as an MP for six times.
