He was a multi-faceted personality. I miss his presence: PM @narendramodi
Jaitley Ji had health ailments but if one spoke to him, he was more concerned about the nation.

Serving the nation energised him: PM @narendramodi
If a client spoke to Jaitley Ji in private, the client would be disappointed. Because, he or she would feel Jaitley Ji was not bothered about the case.

But, in Court Jaitley Ji was so brilliant, he would know all the facts of the case and ensure that the case is won: PM
Whatever work Jaitley Ji got, he added tremendous value to that.
