He would be cremated at Adarsh Nagar crematorium on Tuesday noon, his family said. Sharma was being treated at the Fortis Hospital in Jaipur where he was on ventilator for the last few days. Sharma was ranked among the most respected Brahmin leaders in state and was tipped to be the chief minister of state at one time.
His son, Brij Kishore Sharma, currently holds the education portfolio in Ashok Gehlot government.
Nawal Kishore Sharma started his career from Dausa, his hometown. He has served as the Union minister of petroleum and has chaired the state Vidhan Sabha as a Speaker. Sharma was elected to the parliament from Rajasthan for five terms on a Congress ticket.
Chief minister Ashok Gehlot, UDH minister Shanti Dhariwal were among the first to visit him after the news of his death was reported.
Earlier, leader of the Opposition, Vasundhara Raje and former foreign minister Natwar Singh had paid him a visit after they were informed of his failing health
