Today (28, December) is the birth anniversary of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. On Jaitley's birthday, senior journalist Rajat Sharma shared a video linked to him. In the video, Jaitley is asked the reason for leaving the Supreme Court and joining politics. He has been asked that if he practiced, he could earn crores of rupees, but why did he enter politics after losing crores? To which Jaitley also smiles. He says that I am not the first person who has left politics and joined politics. In the past, many people associated with the freedom movement were absent in politics and made a mark as a politician. It was asked that if he had practiced, he would have earned 300-400 crores in five years. In response, Jaitley says, "I have no problem with this." The alternative life I chose. He has chosen by thinking. To be a cabinet minister in the government, to be a national official of the party and to be the leader of the opposition. Maybe he has more role in improving my personality.

He was kept in the cardio-neuro center of the hospital, however, his condition continued to deteriorate. The last rites of Arun Jaitley will be performed at Nigambodh Ghat in New Delhi on Sunday afternoon. The senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, 66-year-old Jaitley, made his debut as finance minister in January due to ill health, returning Modi's Hindu nationalists to power only months before the election. PM Modi said on Twitter, "With the passing away of Arun Jaitley, I have lost a valuable friend, whom I have had the honor of knowing for decades." "His insights on issues and nuanced understanding of matters had very few similarities."
