Hon'ble Prime Minister,
It was a great honour and a learning experience for me to have been a
part of the Government led by you for the past five years. Even earlier, the Party
had blessed me with responsibilities in the first NDA Government, in the Party
organisation and also while we were in the Opposition. | could not have asked
for more.
During the last eighteen months, | have had some serious health
challenges. My doctors have enabled me to emerge out of most of them. After
the campaign had concluded and you were leaving for Kedarnath, | had orally
informed you that even though | was able to discharge the responsibilities
assigned to me during the campaign, | would in future, for some time, like to
keep away from any responsibility, This will enable me to concentrate on my
treatment and health. The BJP and the NDA, under your leadership, have
secured a spectacular win. The new Government would be sworn in tomorrow.
1am writing to you to formally request you that | should be allowed a
reasonable time for myself, my treatment and my health and, therefore, not be a
part of any responsibilty, for the present, in the new Government.
| would obviously have a lot of time at my disposal to undertake any work
informally to support the Government or the Party.
With warm regards,
Yours sincerely,
[ARUN JAITLEY ]
Shri Narendra Modi
