She said that the ‘real cronies’ of the govt are the common people of the country.
The finance minister used the jibe multiple times in her reply to Union Budget discussion in Lok Sabha.
“Where are cronies?
They are hiding in shadow of the party which has been rejected.
The shadows were invited to develop a port with no open tenders or global tenders.
This is because there is no ‘Damad’ (son-in-law) in Kerala, the ‘Damad’ is here,” she said.
FM Sitharaman added, “Who are our cronies?
Our cronies are the common 'janata' (people) of this country.
For those who are accusing us of dealing with cronies - SVANidhi doesn't go to cronies.
Damad (son-in-law) gets land in states which are governed by some parties.” Saturday marked the end of the first part of the Budget session of Parliament.
The Finance Minister had presented the Union Budget 2021-22 in Parliament on February 1.
The Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is all set to present the Union Budget on July 23, marking the first full budget post the 2024 elections. With the economy showing robust growth and stock market indices like the Sensex and Nifty reaching record highs, there’s a lot at stake.

The much-anticipated Union Budget is set to be delivered on July 23 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. And there's a lot of buzz around possible changes to the Provident Fund. Employees are hopeful that the upper ceiling of the PF, which has remained static at ₹15,000 for a decade, might see a hike.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman condemned the Hooch tragedy in Tamil Nadu, highlighting that over 200 people are hospitalised and 56 have died, mainly from the scheduled caste. She criticised the Congress party, particularly President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, for their silence on the issue. Sitharaman expressed shock that illicit liquor was being sold in Kalakurchi despite the availability of licensed liquor from government-run TASMAC shops. She called for a CBI investigation into the matter.
