The national capital on Saturday saw a gathering of the various leaders and workers of the Bharatiya Janata Party to pay tribute to their senior leader, late Arun Jaitley. Jaitley was the Finance Minister of India on his fifth death anniversary. It is a big loss that can never be fulfilled, for he was our role model as workers. He used to encourage and inspire us with his vast knowledge. His death is a loss for the BJP and the Modi government, and it's a big blow to the whole nation.
He further stressed that Jaitley has left behind a multidimensional legacy as a Minister, parliamentarian, and as a human being. "We miss him; he was unbelievable in his calculations and insights. His spirit is still there to guide us though he is no longer with us."

He told IANS, "Arun Jaitley is not just a leader of Delhi but a big leader of India. After his death, Delhi BJP workers felt orphaned, his door was always open to us whenever any problem arose. We have gathered here to pay him homage and tribute.
