NEW DELHI - Arun Jaitley, the former Indian finance minister and one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s closest associates, died in hospital on Saturday, nearly two weeks after he was admitted following breathing difficulties, officials said.
Jaitley, 66, a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party , stepped down as finance minister in January due to ill health, just months before elections that returned Modi’s Hindu nationalists to power. The BJP lost another veteran party leader and former minister of external affairs when Sushma Swaraj died after a cardiac arrest earlier this month.
