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.

In the Maharashtra elections, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is emerging as a strong winner. Despite the heated debate around the Dharavi issue and Adani's involvement, these topics did not resonate with voters. High-profile leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray, and Aditya Thackeray raised various allegations, but these issues failed to sway the electorate in the way they were expected to. With the Mahayuti securing a significant victory, the political landscape of Maharashtra remains firmly in the hands of the BJP and its allies.
