    BJP's troubleshooter and stalwart, Arun Jaitley cremated with state honors
  • One of the tallest leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Arun Jaitley, who breathed his last on Saturday, was cremated with complete state honors at New Delhi's Nigam Bodh Ghat a short while ago.

    The last rites were attended by a slew of top BJP leaders including Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

    Jaitley is survived by his wife Sangeeta and two children.

  • 66-year-old Jaitley passed away at AIIMS, where he had been admitted on August 9 after he complained of restlessness and breathlessness.

    He was kept under the care of a multidisciplinary team of doctors. Jaitley's health had deteriorated since last year after he underwent a kidney transplant.

    He also opted out of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's second term due to his ailing health.

    Interim Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi wrote a letter to Sangeeta, saying she understood her pain.

  • Gandhi said Jaitley fought his cruel illness until the end.

    "His passing is all the more tragic because he was so young, when he had so much more to contribute to national life. Words are little consolation at this time of grief, but I wanted you, your son and your daughter to know that I share your pain," the letter of Gandhi read.
