Arun Jaitley passes away Updates: While paying tributes to Arun Jaitley at his Delhi residence, Union Home Minister Amit Shah remembered the former finance minister’s contribution to the struggle against the Emergency and said that Jaitley continued to act as a “crusader against corruption,” reported ANI. Mortals remains of former finance minister Arun Jaitley reached his Kailash Colony residence on Saturday from All India Institute of Medical Sciences, where he passed away. Senior Congress leader condoled the demise of Arun Jaitley as he shared a throwback photo with the former Union Finance Minister. Taking to Twitter, Sibal paid tributes to an “old friend and a dear colleague”, who will be remembered for his “seminal contributions to the polity and as finance minister of India”. Arun Jaitley’s body will be taken to his Kailash Colony residence on Saturday. BJP working president JP Nadda said that Jaitley’s body will be moved to BJP headquarters on Sunday at 10 am. From there it will be taken for cremation to Nigambodh Ghat, located on the banks of the Yamuna river in New Delhi. Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu who was to leave from Chennai for Nellore in Andhra Pradesh, has cut short his visit and is returning to Delhi following the demise of former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Former finance minister Arun Jaitley, who was receiving treatment by a multidisciplinary team of doctors at All India since the past few days, passed away around noon on Saturday. Jaitley, 66, was rushed to All India Institute of Medical Sciences on 9 August after he complained of breathlessness and restlessness. Hospital sources had on Tuesday said that he was on life support and a multidisciplinary team of doctors was monitoring his condition. Several prominent leaders, including Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Smriti Irani, Jitendra Singh and Ram Vilas Paswan, President Ram Nath Kovind, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Congress’s Abhishek Singhvi and Jyotiraditya Scindia and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat BJP leader Uma Bharti visited the hospital to enquire about his health. On Monday, BJP veteran LK Advani, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, UP Governor Anandiben Patel, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi, Delhi LG Anil Baijal and BJP lawmaker Maneka Gandhi also visited the hospital to know about Jaitley’s health. Jaitley, a lawyer by profession, had been a key member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Cabinet in the BJP government’s first term. He held the finance and defence portfolios, and often acted as the chief troubleshooter of the government. Jaitley did not contest the 2019 Lok Sabha election, presumably because of his ill-health. In May this year, Jaitley was admitted to AIIMS for treatment. He had undergone a renal transplant on May 14 last year at AIIMS with Railways Minister Piyush Goyal filling in for him in the finance ministry at that time. Jaitley, who had stopped attending office since early April last year, was back in the finance ministry on August 23, 2018. In September 2014, he underwent bariatric surgery to correct the weight he had gained because of a long-standing diabetic condition.

Assam BJP leader Ramen Deka, who was an MP from Mangaldoi Lok Sabha constituency said he knew Arun Jaitley since 1972, when he was the leader of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad in Delhi. “Both of us were involved in the JP movement and we would frequently attend the meetings of the movement. After the movement was over, I joined the Janata Party and Arun Jaitley began law practice in Delhi,” Deka said.
“One of the most striking features of Jaitley ji was his ability to explain most difficult legal propositions in a manner which everyone can understand. This not only helped us understand legal aspects better but also helped the Bharatiya Janata Party in putting across it’s point successfully in the parliament,” he remembered. Jaitley’s success lies in reaching consensus among political parties in implementation of GST. “With his demise we have lost an orator par excellence and a strategist,” Deka said.

Almost every day, we found him interacting with the journalists and also other MPs at the Central Hall.”

Arun Jaitley was like a brother to me, helped in fuctioning of the House, says Sumitra Mahajan
“It’s an irreparable loss not only for the BJP but also to Indian politics. Both Jaitley ji and I had worked together in the party for decades. Besides being a smart politician, he was a good human being. He was not just a party colleague to me but was like my brother. Due to his rich political experience, which he had gained over the years by being in Delhi, I always used to get advice from him whenever I needed,” former Lok Sabha speaker Sumitra Mahajan said.
“Even when I was Lok Sabha Speaker, I got a lot of help from him on functioning of the House. His presence in the House, had always helped the BJP, as he used to tackle situations efficiently. Even as Finance Minister, he had no ego hassles and used to visit my chamber in the Parliament to discuss on agenda of the day and bills to be presented. Before coming to the Parliament, he used to say on the phone, ‘Tai I’m coming’, and then he would visit my chamber and discuss the impending issues.
“As presentation of Budget is a lengthy affair, I used to ask him to sit down and read out his speech due to his physical health. He had an acute problem of cervical spondylitis. But he never sat, as he strongly believed in Parliamentary procedures and etiquette,” she said remembering the former finance minister.
In his last tweet, Arun Jaitley had mourned the loss of Sushma Swara, another BJP stalwart
Saddened, pained & broken on demise of Sushmaji. She was one of the most outstanding politicians in the Present Era. She distinguished in all positions. She held Senior Positions with the Party, NDA Govt. & while in opposition. She leaves behind a void which is difficult to fill.

When Jaitley turned around the perfect election campaign by Congress
In December 2007, during the Gujarat Assembly elections, Arun Jaitley was mostly stationed in Ahmedabad. He used to keep an eye on whatever was going around, strategising campaign and media strategy. One evening, the reporters covering that election received an urgent message that Jaitley would be holding a press conference. That press conference turned out to be a game changer for the BJP.
It was here that Jaitley went all out against Sonia Gandhi’s “Maut ka Saudagar remark.” Sonia had made this remark at a small public rally, which at the outset went unnoticed. But Jaitley heard about it and called state correspondent of a national news channel, not just for confirmation but for the original footage so that he could make a foolproof case. The rest is history. It is just ironic that Jaitley himself never won an election.
Arun Jaitley’s contribution to Indian polity will be remembered: Mamata Banerjee
West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee expressed sadness over the passing away of Arun Jaitley after “a battle bravely borne”.

Arun Jaitley to be cremated tomorrow at Delhi’s Nigambodh Ghat
Arun Jaitley’s body will be taken to his Kailash Colony residence on Saturday. BJP working president JP Nadda said that Jaitley’s body will be moved to BJP headquarters on Sunday at 10 am. From there it will be taken for cremation to Nigambodh Ghat, located on the banks of the Yamuna river in New Delhi.
Jaitley’s death personal loss for Modi; ex-FM had stood by PM during controversy over his degree
Arun Jaitley’s demise is a personal loss for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Modi’s personal relations with Jaitley date back to 1970s when the former was an emerging young ABVP activist and Modi used to visit New Delhi for various RSS programmes, and also to appear for his graduation examination while he was pursuing his bachelors degree as a private student.
When Arvind Kejriwal tried to build a controversy around Modi’s educational qualifications, Jaitley furiously defended the prime minister, sayting that he was witness to the whole process: how Modi used to come to Delhi, stay in one corner of the old Jana Sangh office in old Delhi in order to appear for his exams. He went at length narrating anecdotes of yesteryears. People should actually admire Modi for his grit, his dedication to study further in most adverse circumstances.
Jaitley, a ‘Chanakya and scholar minister’
A consensus builder, he was regarded by some as Narendra Modi’s original ‘Chanakya’, his chief trouble-shooter since 2002 when the Gujarat riots hung over the then chief minister like a dark cloud.
Not just Modi, he reportedly was also instrumental in bailing out Amit Shah during the time he was externed from Gujarat. Shah was often sighted in those days at Jaitley’s Kailash Colony office and the two would share meals several times a week.
