Nirmala Sitharaman, who is a native of Tamil Nadu, has been sworn in as Union Minister for the 3rd time, let’s see the path she has traveled in politics.
Narendra Modi has taken charge as the Prime Minister of the country for the 3rd time. A total of 72 people are included in the central cabinet along with him. 30 Union Ministers, 5 Chief Ministers with individual responsibility and 36 Chief Ministers have been sworn in. Nirmala Sitharaman, who is a native of Tamil Nadu, has been sworn in in English.
Nirmala Sitharaman from Tamil Nadu studied Commerce at Seethalakshmi Ramaswamy College, Trichy. From there he studied M.Phil in JNU University, Delhi. It was while studying at JNU that she met her husband Barakala Prabhakar from Andhra Pradesh and married her in 1986. He worked as a manager in the analytics department at Price Waterhouse Cooper in London before entering full-time politics.
Nirmala Sitharaman, who then worked for the BBC, returned to India in the 1990s. He then established Pranava schools in Hyderabad. Her husband Barakala Prabhakar joined the BJP in 2008, though his family had a Congress background. Then Nirmala Sitharaman got an opportunity to speak at the National Executive Committee of the BJP. Nirmala Sitharaman’s talk on economy and security related issues also attracted the attention of many people.
Later when Nitin Gadkar became the BJP National President, Nirmala Sitharaman was given the responsibility of National Spokesperson. Nirmala Sitharaman, who has been constantly talking about the policies of the BJP, was elected as a member of the Rajya Sabha in 2014. Then Nirmala Sitharaman was given the post of Defense Minister. Then in 2019, when the BJP came to power again, Nirmala Sitharaman was given the post of Finance Minister.
Nirmala Sitharaman got the honor of being the 2nd Finance Minister of the country after Indira Gandhi. Although he did not win the election by directly meeting the people, he has been appointed to the central cabinet for the 3rd time. Being from Tamil Nadu, he openly says that even now he does not know how to speak Hindi completely. This is why Nirmala Sitharaman took the oath in English when she was sworn in.
