New Delhi : Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday condoled the death of former Finance and Defence Minister Arun Jaitley describing it as a personal loss for him and recalled his contribution during Narendra Modi's first term (2014-19) in making India the world's fastest growing economy.
"I am deeply saddened by the death of Arun Jaitley. Jaitley's departure is a personal loss for me.
I have lost not only a senior leader of the organization but also an integral member of the family whose support and guidance I have been receiving for years," Shah said in a tweet.
"He (Jaitley) made an indelible mark as the Finance Minister of the country during the Modi government's 2014-19 tenure and brought on ground Modiji's poor welfare vision and propelled India as the world's fastest growing economy.
"Be it the matter of taking action on black money, the matter of realizing the dream of 'GST', the matter of demonetisation or the relief of the common man, in every decision of his, the welfare of the country and the people of the country was visible.
The country will always remember him for his very simple and sensitive personality," he said in another tweet.
