Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan was cremated on the banks of the Ganga in Patna with full state honours on Saturday. A sea of people, including Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, gathered to pay their last respects to one of the astute political leaders of the country. Tributes were offered to Paswan at the Vidhan Sabha as well. The LJP founder died on Thursday in Delhi after being hospitalised for weeks following a heart surgery.
