Expressing her condolences, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta wrote to Essel Group Chairman Dr Subhash Chandra following the demise of his father, Nand Kishore Goenka. Her personal letter follows an earlier tribute she shared on social media.
Dr Subhash Chandra’s father, Nand Kishore Goenka, passed away in Mumbai on July 13 at the age of 96. His final rites were held in Hisar, Haryana, two days later. Known for his association with the RSS, Goenka chose a life focused on social work and cow welfare rather than business.
In her letter, Rekha Gupta said she was deeply saddened by the news of Nand Kishore Goenka’s passing and conveyed her heartfelt condolences to Dr Subhash Chandra and the bereaved family.
“The void created in the family by Shri Nand Kishore Goenka’s demise cannot be expressed in words. This is an irreparable loss for the family,” she wrote.
The Chief Minister also prayed for the departed soul, saying, “May God grant the departed soul a place at His holy feet and give the family the strength to bear this immense loss.” She concluded her message with the words, “Om Shanti.”
Before writing the condolence letter, Rekha Gupta had mourned Goenka’s passing through a heartfelt message on social media.
