Senior BJP leader and Minister Arun Jaitley, who was in the United States for medical treatment, returned to India Saturday. Following his return, Jaitley in a tweet said that he was delighted to be back home.
The senior BJP leader had left for the US for a medical checkup for his kidney ailment in mid-January after which the charge of Finance ministry was given to Piyush Goyal by the President to present the Union Budget 2019.
Jaitley, who had undergone a renal transplant surgery on May 14, 2018, had not travelled abroad in the last nine months. He was scheduled to attend 10th India-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue in London in April last year but had cancelled his visit due to his kidney ailment.
Jaitley was admitted to AIIMS last year in early April following which he underwent dialysis. He had renal transplant surgery on May 14, 2018.
