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.
