Sitharaman Slaps Back At Rahul Gandhi Over Tata Group Remarks
· India · Times of India, The Hindu
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to refrain from seeing ghosts everywhere after he accused the government of criminally destroying the Tata Group. Sitharaman's comments follow Gandhi's social media post questioning business leaders' silence amid a boardroom dispute over N Chandrasekaran's reappointment as executive chairman of Tata Sons. The finance minister accused the Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition of politicising legal and commercial matters while trying to incite business leaders to spread distrust. She contrasted the BJP-led government's approach of supporting industry and economic growth with the Congress party's historical Licence-Quota Raj. Sitharaman urged Gandhi to engage constructively with the government instead of casting baseless aspersions for narrow political motives.
Why it matters
The exchange underscores the growing political friction between the ruling BJP and opposition leaders over corporate governance and government-industry relations in India.
