Hyderabad's first woman mayor Sarojini Pulla Reddy breathed her last at around 2:00am - 2:30am this morning at her residence in Bowenpally.
Senior Congress leader Sarojini, who had hobnobbed with the likes of Indira and Sonia Gandhi, had been terminally ill. She had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a month ago.
The Congress Working Committee member, who had also been the APCC vice-president for a long time on top of having served as minister for Municipal Administration, and Information and Public Relations, was 85 years old at the time of her death.
