Arun Jaitely Passes Away: All You Need To Know About Former Union Minister

Lawyer-turned-politician Arun Jaitely, aged 66, passed away at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) after prolonged illness on Saturday. BJP stalwart and former finance minister was admitted to AIIMS on August 9 and was treated by a multi-disciplinary team of senior doctors. Hospital sources had earlier said he was on life support. 

One of PM Modi's most trusted colleagues, Jaitely blossomed into a full-fledged politician after establishing himself as one of the top lawyers in the country.

Jaitley slowly occupied a prime place in BJP's hierarchy in the shadow of stalwarts of the time Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani.
