Gautam Gambhir urges Delhi Governor to rename Yamuna Sports Complex after Arun Jaitley
Gambhir wrote to Baijal proposing to rename the complex in recognition of Jaitley's contribution towards the nation and sports.
East Delhi BJP minister Gautam Gambhir has requested Delhi's governor Anil Baijal to rename the Yamuna Sports Complex in New Delhi after the former BJP minister Arun Jaitley, who passed away last week.
Gambhir wrote to Baijal proposing to rename the complex in recognition of Jaitley's contribution towards the nation and sports. Jaitley was the former vice-president of BCCI, along with being a member of the IPL Governing Council. He also headed the DDCA.
"I am writing this letter to propose to your good self to rename Yamuna Sports Complex situated in my Lok Sabha constituency of East Delhi in the name of eminent lawyer, our great leader and former finance minister, later Arun Jaitley ji," Gambhir letter to the Lt Governor reads.
He added that the honour would be humble gesture to Jaitley's incredible legacy.
Earlier, Gambhir had taken to Twitter to post a heartfelt tribute to the former finance minister, who passed away at AIIMS on August 24.
"A father teaches u to speak but a father figure teaches u to talk. A father teaches u to walk but a father figure teaches u to march on. A father gives u a name but a father figure gives u an identity. A part of me is gone with my Father Figure Shri Arun Jaitley Ji. RIP Sir." Gambhir tweeted soon after Jaitely passed away.
