While the PM Modi talks about no corruption in politics, Finance Minister Nirmala says that she has no money to contest elections. This indicates that the BJP pays money to the voters to win the election.
Nirmala Sitharaman has decided against contesting the Lok Sabha election, citing the lack of “money to contest” the poll and her inability to meet the “winnability criteria” in southern States such as Andhra Pradesh or Tamil Nadu that she could have considered battling from.
While the ED is arresting CM, Deputy CM and other lawmakers in the name of corruption, here the FM of the BJP says she has no money to contest. This also means that the BJP is winning the election with money.
Nirmala has done Ok as a Finance Minster, but she failed to be a good politician. Saying that she has no money to contest the election is a very wrong statement and putting the BJP in trouble.
We do not know if she will be in the Rajya Sabha or not has to be seen. If the FM says there is no money, who others will have money is the question. Sitharaman said that BJP President JP Nadda extended the option to her to either contest from Andhra Pradesh or Tamil Nadu, but she rejected the offer, pleading that she does not have the funds to contest the polls.
However, Sitharaman said that she will still be a part of BJP’s campaign trail for the upcoming elections. She will be attending media events and campaigning for multiple BJP candidates, including Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
