New Delhi, May 14 Finance Minister Arun Jaitley successfully underwent renal transplant surgery here on Monday.

Jaitley, who has been working from a "controlled domain" for as long as couple of weeks, experienced surgery at New Delhi's All India Institutes of Medical Sciences (AIIMS).

According to the AIIMS Chairperson-Media and Protocol Division, Dr. Aarti Vij, the surgery was effective, and the Finance Minister is steady and recouping.

"Arun Jaitley, Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, experienced renal transplant surgery today at AIIMS, Delhi. The surgery has been effective. Both the beneficiary and contributor are steady and recouping," the announcement read.

In the mean time, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh took to Twitter to wish Jaitley and the giver 'speedy recuperation and good health.'

"Happy to know about the successful kidney transplant surgery of Shri Arun Jaitley at AIIMS, Delhi. I petition God for his and the giver's fast recuperation and great wellbeing," he tweeted.

In April, Jaitley had said that he was being dealt with for kidney-related issues and working from a "controlled environment" at home.

"I am being treated for kidney related issues and certain infections that I have contracted. I am in this manner as of now working from controlled condition at home. The future course of my treatment would be dictated by the specialists treating me," he tweeted.

Jaitley had undergone a gastric-bypass surgery for diabetes control in 2014, which saw him shed his weight by 17 kilograms.
