He was at the forefront of advancing issues like education, healthcare, cleanliness, animal welfare. I remember my countless meetings with Shri Ratan Tata ji. I used to meet him often when I was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. We used to exchange views on various issues. I found his ideas very useful. These meetings continued even when he came to Delhi. I am deeply saddened by his demise. My condolences are with his family, friends and fans in this hour of grief. Om Shanti.'

Former President Ram Nath Kovind said- He was a true patriot

Former President Ram Nath Kovind said on the demise of Ratan Tata, he was the epitome of simplicity and humility. Whenever I used to invite him during banquets at Rashtrapati Bhavan, despite being such a famous industrialist, I have seen his humility. He never seemed to be one of the big industrialists of our country. He seemed to be a patriot and always a simple person. I have always seen Ratan Tata following the protocol. I have seen how good his thinking was. Most industrialists set up industries for money. But he used to tell everyone that if you people want to set up industries then it should always be in the national interest.
