New Delhi: Former finance minister Arun Jaitley was a leader who valued institutions deeply, former vice president M Venkaiah Naidu said on Wednesday, and stressed that political parties must not denigrate constitutional bodies for their own ambitions.
He was speaking at the launch of the book ‘The Life and Legacy of Arun Jaitley’, written by lawyer Sumant Batra, published by Om Books International.
Naidu, a veteran BJP leader who has also headed the party in the past, recalled that his association with Jaitley went back to the time when both were members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the RSS.
