ಮಾಜಿ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಸಚಿವರಾಗಿದ್ದ ಜಾರ್ಜ್ ಫರ್ನಾಂಡೀಸ್ ಅವರ ನಿಧನ ತೀವ್ರ ದುಃಖವನ್ನುಂಟು ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕರು, ಶೋಷಿತರ ಧ್ವನಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ಇವರು, ಸರಳತೆಯಿಂದಲೇ ಜನಮನ ಗೆದ್ದಿದ್ದರು. ದೇಶ ಒಬ್ಬ ಆದರ್ಶ ರಾಜಕಾರಣಿಯನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದೆ. ಇವರ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಶಾಂತಿ ಸಿಗಲಿ. ಇವರ ಕುಟುಂಬ ಮತ್ತು ಅಭಿಮಾನಿಗಳಿಗೆ ದುಃಖ ಭರಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ದೇವರು ನೀಡಲಿ. pic.twitter.com/STEF5cXnF8

He was the creator of #Konkan#Railways as Railway minister - when all others in #Finance and other Ministries opposed it, he single handedly did it, picked up Mr. Sridharan, created separate corporation to execute it, raised bonds by public meetings #GeorgeFernandes
