Jaitley was the bridge that the BJP used to win over new allies, and also its warm, affable and persuasive face to bring opposition parties around on key issues

Arun Jaitley, while standing for probity in public life, had a vast social network, with the help of which he guarded Narendra Modi against a hostile Lutyens' media

The process had begun under former FM Jaitley during the previous Modi government but will see the efforts come to fruition under Sitharaman

The fire department stated that the fire at AIIMS is not major and steps for evacuation are taking place, emergency services have been closed

Arun Jaitley has been put on ECMO also known as life support, AIIMS has not issued any bulletin on Jaitley’s health condition since 10 August

In May this year, Jaitley was admitted to AIIMS for treatment.

From the things Nirmala Sitharaman chose to make dearer and cheaper, and the continuity of incremental approach of Arun Jaitley to reforms, it is clear Narendra Modi has been the de facto finance minister all throughout. And his understanding of economics is questionable, notwithstanding his big dreams.

Leave aside the commanding Amit Shah and qualified S Jaishankar, Modi would have surprised if he chose the remaining ministers on the basis of their certificates

Jaitley to Modi: I had orally informed you that even though I was able to discharge the responsibilities assigned to me during the campaign, I would in future, for some time, like to keep away from any responsibility
