Expressing grief over the death of former finance minister and party colleague Arun Jaitley, veteran BJP leader LK Advani on Saturday said that the late leader was a food lover who always used to recommend good restaurants to him.

As a person, Arunji will be remembered as a soft-spoken, erudite and warm-hearted person. A food lover, he never failed to recommend good restaurants to me, Advani said in a statement.

Describing Jaitley as an outstanding parliamentarian, Advani remarked that he was also a superb administrator. Advani noted that Jaitley was a big name in the legal field too. He was also someone who valued and nurtured his friendship with people across the political spectrum, he said.

Advani said that Jaitley was a dedicated party worker who had worked tirelessly for the Bharatiya Janta Party. He added that the BJP was hugely dependent on Jaitley in order to find solutions for complex issues.

A dedicated party worker for decades, he was someone who was inducted into the BJP core team when I was party president and he soon rose to become one of the most prominent leaders of the party, he said.

Arunji was known and respected for his sharp, analytical mind and everyone in the BJP always depended on him for finding solutions to complex issues, the veteran leader stressed.

Terming Jaitleys demise as a huge loss for the country, Advani said that the former finance minister's death is a huge personal loss for him. To me, it is a personal loss that has left a huge void. May his soul rest in peace, he added.
