As finance minister, Arun Jaitley oversaw the roll-out of GST- probably the biggest tax reform since Independence - and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code
He was a tall parliamentarian, astute lawyer, great leader, true gentleman and above all wonderful human being, said Sanjiv Mehta
The Attorney General described Jaitley as the brain behind managing difficult situations faced by the BJP
President Ram Nath Kovind said Jaitley's death has left a 'huge void in our public life and our intellectual ecosystem'
Jaitley, 66, was admitted on August 9 after he complained of breathlessness and restlessness
Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu visited the All India Institute of Medical Sciences to enquire about his former cabinet colleague's health
In an apparent dig at senior Congress leader P Chidambaram's remark that tax on oil should be cut by Rs 25 per litre, Jaitley retorted "this is a 'trap' suggestion"
