srinivasa-iyer-ramaswamy-passed-away-at-age-82Just 24 hours after the sad demise of Jayalalithaa, Tamil Nadu suffered one more blow as it lost the legendary satirist and Journalist, Cho Ramaswamy. He is known to be an advisor of Jayalalithaa and is one of the instrumental persons in the growth of her.

It is a coincidence that he followed her to heaven almost immediately. Cho Ramaswamy who is not well from many months finally breathed his last in the early hours of today. He was also nominated to Rajya Sabha previously by Jayalalithaa.

He founded and edited the political magazine Thuglak and was fearless in criticizing the ruling government in the state or at the center. Cho is a strong advocate of Prime Minister Narendra Modi even before he was approved as PM Candidate in BJP. Narendra Modi expressed his heartfelt grief on this demise.
