Arun Jaitley: Final adieu to the leader

Two obituaries in two weeks of stalwarts of BJP and even in death, both of them ensuring to choose the same month for their exit as that of Atalji.

Sounds like, true disciples following the master even in death.

Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj, two sides of young brigade of BJP had so many similarities. The media put them as rivals in Delhi. Both were almost same age, contrasting oratory skills complimented each other, both ran equally powerful ministries with iron but seasoned hands, had similar ailments, similar treatment, quit active politics at the same time and bid final adieu within days of each other. True pillars for the  party and losing them is a jolt to BJP as well the nation. No two individuals could have lived lives so parallel to each other.

Arun Jaitley, one of the most suave politicians of all times, connected with intellectuals and downtrodden through his speeches, hard work, policies, governance and always came across as man of all seasons for his party, the BJP.

Though not a mass leader, master strategist in Jaitley ensured the pulse of people is known to the party. As one of the most trusted lieutenant of Modi Government, Jaitley ensured Rafale fly in the sky and one country one tax GST became a reality.

Whenever one heard Jaitely, it had a convincing impact on the audience. His legal skills matched his witty comments blunted the opposition to get his agenda through for the cause of the nation.

Leading a life in opposition for most of the career and when the opportunity came for long stint in the Government, the stalwart is gone.

RIP Jaitley Saab !! 🙇‍♂️
