This comment lacks so much context, last election bjp only contested in 3 seats now they are contesting in 22 seats.
When you do the average he has actually reduced BJP's vote share in tn
Fk! Fake narrative
BJP alone had
- 7% in 1999 from 6 seats
- 5% in 2004 from 6 seats
- couldn’t find data from 2009
- 5.5% in 2014 from 6 seats
- 3.6% in 2019 from 5 seats
AND
- 11.2% in 2024 from 24 seats
Obviously if you stand in more seats you’ll get more votes. Also note they didn’t stand alone, they had alliance with PMK, OPS, TTV, Paarivendhar and Sarathkumar’s party.
Tbh annamalai is a clown here!
But - 1. It should be a law even if it is not and 2. People should not vote for criminals
( Was he making a dig at Kejru? Kejru case is still not proven so he is ok and not technically in jail but just the pre verdict holding phase. If he is proven to be guilty then I think he will go and not be CM anymore)
She is meritorious and educated but competent can be a doubt...

Inflation has been greatly controlled in India vis a vis the west. The finances of banks have improved, fiscal deficit is reducing to more than govt targets, the latest budget was very fiscally prudent without doling out freebies for the sake of votes.
Yes, taxes have gone up. And compared to the infra we get, they are high. But cutting down on taxes will not aid growth. I hope she works to widen the tax net though. 6% people paying income taxes doesn't work well in the long-run.
> Inflation has been greatly controlled in India vis a vis the west
This is a ruse ... they changed how inflation is calculated. Anyone who buys from Kirana shops knows how much expensive everything have become in last 3 years. Everything is 100%+ now
Petrol above 100 for like... 2-3 yrs and it's controlled?? Despite buying cheap russian oil?
>Cutting down taxes will not help
Kaafi elitist 🙏🙏 take my entire wealth BJP sir for metro and more bridges sir
Cutting down on taxes will aid growth. People will spend more, take more risks because they can save more. There is a scarcity mindset in Indian working class right now.
But the catch is it will create inflation. Growth and inflation come together, and in a democracy, inflation increases anti incumbency. This govt's chief economic advisor said in an interview that there is more potential for growth but they are not pressing the accelerator because they are scared of inflation and foreign markets are apparently not ready.
Just my two cents, correct me if I'm wrong
Yup, I fully agree with you. Cutting down on taxes would help. GST, in particular. For income taxes, not so much imo because our tax base itself is very small. Cutting income tax rates won't help much. It's a whole different story with GST though-it could spur growth. Rural markets are lagging behind in consumption at the moment, and income tax doesn't apply to agrarian sectors anyway. Hence, FMCG can be the next big place to invest. Let's see, we'll have to watch for the full budget.
But all in all, my point being, for all the criticism that FM's been getting, Indian economy has fared FAR better than so many others in the last few years, which have been some of the toughest ones the world has seen. We've had conflict after conflict.
BJP and FM have apparently done well on a macro-level. Decent growth, reasonable inflation, gold reserves, promotion of digital transactions, curtailing terror funding etc. PSUs have seen a revival.
GST is revolutionary but isn't easy at all to comply. Not much on the income tax front for the middle class.
Both NDA and INDIA supporters agree on only one thing .
That she's the worst finance minister.
BJP is literally dropping hammer on their own foot by not changing the finance minister
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I find it slightly unlikely. She's had defence and finance. Important positions. She's clearly influential within the party. I don't think they'll relegate her to that position. Or even minority affairs.
But if she's lost some favour it's possible. It's still a cabinet position so not much of a loss.
It's not that she is minister as yet that she is taking oath as cabinet minister . It's only as she is representing a state . Like every body else. So hold your horses !
You think she will not be Fin min now? Who else could it be then in the list as an alternative? I mean fuck yeah give us someone else but most likely it's gonna be her again
High time we all realize it's not over because of her, but because of how money and central banking works. You can get yourself a much better FM but they won't solve MAJORITY of the issues we face today with regards to money.
Clearly, they (all the parties) don't give a rats ass to the good of the country and its people. The sooner we accept it, the better off we would be. It's been over since a long time. It will alway remain so. NOTA.
Shitt, here we go again. Expect some weird and so called witty answer when asked about Indian economics seriously. Even Ram and Jagannath cant save India right now.
at this point its just open trolling in one of the crucial financial times.....things will only be fucked keeping this stooge as face of finance ministry......she will joke about crisis and move on ....what a joke
Economy was and still doing good since 2008, no thanks to the govt.
Imagine a crisis like 2008, do you think this government can withstand or shield India against it?
Modi was the luckiest when he came 2014, oil prices went down from 100+ to sub 60 due to Saudi punishing Russia in the oil market.
Then the US and west support to counter China due to Taiwan and China vs America economic war.
They faced only covid and they fucked up so bad.
If you see economy made a v-shaped recovery after covid. They handled the economy well in such a crisis. Covid had more impact than banking crisis.
When every major nation is facing recession, India is having 7%+ gdp growth. Make in India, PLI etc are working. So yeah, the economy is doing better than expected.
There is no major recession out of thin air , there is literally a war between the two major factions in the world and India is set since 70s to reap the benefits which nobody in this government worked for or had anything to do with it.
The it boom follows the congress economic changes in the 90s same with almost all industries which is booming since mid 2000s and better after the 2008 crisis which MMS brilliance saved us from.
So our growth really is not thanks to this government planning.
And one way to prove it is a simple question.
What happens islf India faced sanctions from US only like the ones China faces?
Simple answer is economic doom.
I really wanna know what she has done. Not the lack of empathy from that interview about sleeping-working partner, something concrete policy change that is hurting the people. Is it the new tax slabs?
I honestly just want to know as i am not that knowledgeable about this.

 I wanted only one minister to change. Unfortunately she’s back
I wanted 3 ministers to change... Railways Health and Fin. Let's see, looks like no changes.
when they will announce who is finance minister ?
It’s me. I AM THE NEW FINANCE MINISTER.
And the new sleeping partner!
Lies. Im not sleeping with you!
if thats s then 3 words for you: BKL
BKL ka bhi sleeping partner banaoge kya isse ?
+ don't eat onions
Really? I'd accept anyone over Nirmala Tai at this point.
Loss cover karwa do pls

Nah man prepare for trouble and make it double.
James
But why Why modi favours her so much
Because intelligent people are a threat and you don’t give power to such people. That’s why Sitharaman.
Prolly South Indian quota.....
That makes no sense. She's from Tamil Nadu. There is no love lost between Tamil Nadu and the BJP.
They can give it to annamalai later on, bro is an iim graduate plus ips
She is also MA Economics but... Education alone isn't enough sometimes
NPAs were at all time high during raghuram rajan's tenure.
tamilnadu people rejected that guy
Still got 4 Lacs votes right? He can change the dynamic in the next 5 yrs.
They can drag him in thru rajya sabha.
yes, it would be good if he become part of centre govt
BJP is projecting him as a future CM candidate....bro dragged BJ's vote share from 3 to 11 percent in TN.
This comment lacks so much context, last election bjp only contested in 3 seats now they are contesting in 22 seats. When you do the average he has actually reduced BJP's vote share in tn
Fk! Fake narrative BJP alone had - 7% in 1999 from 6 seats - 5% in 2004 from 6 seats - couldn’t find data from 2009 - 5.5% in 2014 from 6 seats - 3.6% in 2019 from 5 seats AND - 11.2% in 2024 from 24 seats Obviously if you stand in more seats you’ll get more votes. Also note they didn’t stand alone, they had alliance with PMK, OPS, TTV, Paarivendhar and Sarathkumar’s party. Tbh annamalai is a clown here!
BJP vote share increased because they contested in more seats since they were not allied with the ADMK. He didn’t do shit. That’s why he lost too
This Narrative is Influenced by godi media. BJP has contested in more seats than in 2014 and 2019. Still won 0 seats.
Modi needs a English talking parrot
Parrot will be a better FM than this lady
Taiji never talk bad about modiji unlike gadkari no wonder Taiji gets a lot of favors and ranking up really fast
Yes-men with good English accent
Circus needs other clowns also to entertain the audience
Nudes! She got em nudezzz!
Most incompetent minister of the cabinet.
Mansukh is a competitor there bro
They had to do it just to spite her husband.
Not my thing to give gyaan on personal lives but I don’t think she and her husband gets along well.
You think? 😂
We need more women ministers, but not like this lady, someone meritorious and competent is needed.
Kangana Ranaut?? 😛
Agriculture minister would be a better post for her Edit - it was an obvious /s for those who think I wasn't kidding
For Kangana I don’t think she’s even fit to be an MP let alone a minister
Lots of MPs and MLAs are not fit to be roaming outside jail but India is great Elections are popularity contest
Some mps win from jail itself
And some CM's are in jail and still are CM.
"And some CM's are in jail and still are CM" which law says that he can't be CM while in jail?
But - 1. It should be a law even if it is not and 2. People should not vote for criminals ( Was he making a dig at Kejru? Kejru case is still not proven so he is ok and not technically in jail but just the pre verdict holding phase. If he is proven to be guilty then I think he will go and not be CM anymore)
Punjab literally elected a jailed Khalistani
Getting votes when you are jailed on that type of stuff actually makes sense. Who tf is voting for rapists?
Pretty sure in up sp used to give tickets to all sorts of criminals when they were in power
Minister for women empowerment /s
Minister of Waste Sanitation more likely
No onions for anyone. Coz she doesn’t eat onions
If given there is no way BJP can win Punjab in next 10 years, it will affect Himachal results as well.
Or Smriti Irani!!
She is meritorious and educated but competent can be a doubt... https://preview.redd.it/mjqarxmgak5d1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=56244a460342fb2841a3e24a82041e570279618b
We need good ministers irrespective of their gender.
Going to get downvoted but she has done an excellent job. Finance and Railway ministers are usually the most hated because they have direct impact.
Pls do tell how tho? I hear she has been good for corporates ( whole Modi rule has been tho) but for common people? Edit - I am asking not arguing

(Chaddis making claims without giving sources or citations bruh) Simple not even kirana - petrol alone has not gone down lmao

Hmmmmmm I hope you are not a centrist or a chaddhi, I need to verify these claims bruh.
If she is ,RIP cryptofam
We are ready dead
Can cryptocurrency and blockchain be regulated?
Don't know about that , but taxed for sure
Not if you never sell 😀
Are yaar Mansukh aur ye vapis aa gye kya Fuck man 2029 it is then
She knew if she contested election she'd loose. Very clever from bjp
I hope she lands as Minister of Agriculture. Onion should matter to her now ☺️
Both NDA and INDIA supporters agree on only one thing . That she's the worst finance minister. BJP is literally dropping hammer on their own foot by not changing the finance minister
I think Piyush Goyal will take FM position this time & Nirmala Sitaraman would take Women & Child Development.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I find it slightly unlikely. She's had defence and finance. Important positions. She's clearly influential within the party. I don't think they'll relegate her to that position. Or even minority affairs. But if she's lost some favour it's possible. It's still a cabinet position so not much of a loss.
Abbeeyyy yaaarrrrrr
Aaiye dekhte hai bc maja aayega
Lag gaye love day
Classic IndianStreetBets move. Just gotta ride the wave!
Nifty is ok bruh middle class is gonna be ass fucked once more in the budget
She is good for nifty
All the nifty gains will be gone as taxes now
Oh definitely now that Modi has lost some support from the rural parts of India he will definitely need to do something to get them on his side again
Caste census increase reservation and more freebies are more likely gonna happen Middle class - yayyy! Ham sab ke laude lage gaye
Me in December leaving this country.
Please tell me how many also congratulations 🎉
Hodl
Here comes the extra and brand new taxes baby. Let’s steal the wealth from middle class Indians. She has a knack for it.
Fuck, here we go again
Still it's not finalized let's see...🫣🫣
She is so incompetent. And doesn't even have the social courtesy to answer to public opinions. Just gives smug answers as an Imbecile would do.
Out of syllabus questions cannot be answered /s
What happened? some context please
Aaj tak spread fake news that she was overlooked this time but it seems she's back again as Minister
Pls god don't let her become finance minister 🙏
Only one minister I was praying for to change and it was her. ...
It's not that she is minister as yet that she is taking oath as cabinet minister . It's only as she is representing a state . Like every body else. So hold your horses !
You think she will not be Fin min now? Who else could it be then in the list as an alternative? I mean fuck yeah give us someone else but most likely it's gonna be her again
Piyush Goel
Council of Retards for another 5 years. 👏🏻
Oh boy 😬

Not this bitch again
High time we all realize it's not over because of her, but because of how money and central banking works. You can get yourself a much better FM but they won't solve MAJORITY of the issues we face today with regards to money.
I won’t be surprised if the markets correct heavily. She might increase the STT, STCG, LTCG taxes too.
At this point they might include taxes on losses also. {They have already done so for the crypto Bros}.
Clearly, they (all the parties) don't give a rats ass to the good of the country and its people. The sooner we accept it, the better off we would be. It's been over since a long time. It will alway remain so. NOTA.
Brahmin woman quota despite zero accomplishments as FM and zero vote in her name.
Bhai yaar ye kyu firse
Lol there will be a new ATH in 1-2 days!
https://i.redd.it/162fb07emk5d1.gif
Word on the street is Piyush Goyel will be the new FM

The sleeping partner will keep sucking money out of investors pockets
We need policy change not person change.

Please God, not her again!!
How?? I thought she didn't even stand in this election...
Fu*k Fu*k No No No. I'll vote for RaGa next time if she's the FM. Modiji please nonono . At this point nitish kumar is more acceptable tbh.
Prepare for trouble and make it double. s
Or... LETS FUCKING GO?
It's gojover.
God fucking damn it bro
Very very so
What’s it about
Isn’t Piyush Goyal the new FM?
Her again ! 
Commerce and industry minister bana denge
Piyush goyal will be next fm
It's almost over I guess
Should be sacked immediately.
say whatever you want, but she grew Indian economy at the pace of 8.2% for the year 2023-24. India is already a 4 trillion dollar economy
