FM Nirmala Sitharaman hit back at Congressâ Rahul Gandhi over his âHum do, Hamare doâ jibe. She said that the âreal croniesâ 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. âWhere 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 âDamadâ (son-in-law) in Kerala, the âDamadâ is here,â she said. FM Sitharaman added, âWho 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.â Saturday marked the end of the first part of the Budget session of Parliament.
