Nirmala Sitharaman is an Indian politician with the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), and has served as Minister of Finance and Minister of Corporate Affairs since 2019 (this is as of March 2024). In the first Modi government, Sitharaman served as the Minister of Defence between 2017 and 2019, thereby becoming India’s second female defence minister and the second female finance minister after Indira Gandhi, and the first full-time female minister to hold each of those portfolios.
Sitharaman first joined the BJP in 2004 and was appointed party spokesperson six years later. She was first elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2014. While presenting her first budget, she made a statement by replacing the traditional budget briefcase with a ‘bahi-khata’ with the National Emblem to carry the speech and other documents.
Why does the government wish to run companies and businesses when it is unable to fulfill it’s basic functions. Since independence, both state and centre and local government have failed in their core duties such as enforcement of law & order, primary and secondary education, basic healthcare, sanitation, provision of basic facilities like drinking water, town and city planning, environment care etc. So where is the need to run failed enterprises with tax payers money rather than putting it to better use.
once a liar, always a liar.. and she’s always a liar…. 1st she joined the defence minister post without knowing abc of it and now into finance…. last 10 yrs. we’ had lame FMs with always lies and false spreading.. why was the AI privatised at all? how come the govt. couldn’t handle and bring it to life? its not just bjp but even the previous central and state govts. that closed many govt. companies.. be it IDPL, or xxx only to strengthen the private players and fill in politicians pockets with swiss accounts… no blame only on bjp but congress too and state level rulers
