Minister of Finance Nirma Sitharaman on Friday tore the Congress and Rahul Gandhi when he asked the opposition alleged by their poor people who had been abandoned from the budget of 2022. Without naming Rahul Gandhi, Nirmala Sitharaman referred to the comments of its poverty in 2013 from the mind and asked if this the desired congress in the budget. “Please, explain, is this poverty that you want me to address, poverty mind?” Sitharaman said.
When Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi protested that the Minister of Finance mocked the poor, Sitharaman said, “I do not mock the poor. People who have mocked the poor, you are in the alliance with their party.” Deputy Chairperson of Rajya Sabha said only Sitharaman speech Will be recorded. “I was surprised that a thought woman said that I mocked the poor. While her party was in the alliance with the Congress leader party. This is not my statement. I just quote the person,” Sitharaman said when the protest broke out following his reference to ‘poverty is a state of mind.
Consult the proverb of Tamil, Sitharaman said he did not take any name but everyone began to survive. “If you want a coarse translation from the Tamil saying, this is: during the rainy season no one knows where the frog is, but goes croak-croak. The same thing happened here.” Sitharaman said.
In 2013, Rahul Gandhi said, “Poverty is only a state of mind. That does not mean the scarcity of food, money, or material items. If someone has confidence, then someone can overcome poverty.”

Reply to the allegations of the former Finance Minister that the 2022 budget has nothing for the poor, Nirmala Sitharaman said, “What are the poor people you are talking about?” “Former President [Congress] said that poverty does not mean the scarcity of food, money, or material items. If someone has confidence, then someone can handle it, said the Congress leader. He said it was a state of mind. I have not named the person but we know Who is, “Sitharaman said. He also said that the comments were widely reported in the media and he only quoted the leader of the Congress.
Then Sitharaman came to the leader of the Senior Congress of Kapil Sibal that ‘India was not in Amrit Kaal but in Rahu Kaal since 2014’. The Minister of Finance said ‘Rahu-kaal’ is what produces G-23. Referring to the 2013 incident Rahul Gandhi Trashing then Prime Minister Manshan Singh, Sitharaman said, “That is Rahu-Kaal”.

“The senior leaders of the party left the party. The party gave the slogan ‘Ladki Hoon Lad Sakti Hoon’ but the women in Rajasthan could not fight,” Sitharaman said.
At the cost leveled by the opposition that Nirmal Sitharaman did not know the reality of land because he was not elected members, Sitharaman said, “Honorable members imply that all members of Rajya Sabha from their time, including the former Prime Minister, cut off from reality?”
