Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has been given not only the finance department but also another department in addition to it.
Rajya Sabha MP Nirmala Sitharaman has become a minister this time without facing elections. Finance department has been given back to him while he is a minister.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, it was expected that the nominated MPs would have little chance of getting major cabinet posts when the BJP alliance would form the government. Despite that, Rajya Sabha MP Nirmala Sitharaman has become a minister.
The BJP did not get a single majority in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. After 10 years, minority rule will be established in the country. A minority government is a bigger defeat for the BJP than an electoral defeat.
Is the reason for the defeat pure?: There are many reasons given for the defeat of the BJP. Criticism is placed on many people. Annamalai is heavily criticized for BJP’s defeat in Tamil Nadu.
Delhi BJP leadership is very angry with BJP leader Nirmala Sitharaman for this. His GST policies were the main reason for BJP’s defeat. His imposition of excessive taxes on the people was the biggest reason for BJP’s defeat.
His actions, his angry responses and his lack of understanding of the problems of the poor people came under severe criticism. GST is a big reason for BJP to gain ground in Kongu region.
Nirmala Sitharaman’s change of post: It was at this stage that the BJP decided to give Nirmala Sitharaman the eight card. He has a ministerial position this time but only a small one. Hence it was said that this time someone else will become the finance minister. It was expected that heavily appointed MPs would be less likely to get major cabinet posts. Despite that, Rajya Sabha MP Nirmala Sitharaman has become a minister.
Finance Minister; In this case, the names of two people were in the nomination for the position of Finance Minister. One is Amit Shah and the other is Piyush Goyal. It was said that one of the two is likely to become the finance minister.
Amit Shah is the finance minister but he cannot look after the home affairs. Thus it is said that there are chances of it going to Shivraj Singh Chauhan. But defying all predictions, Nirmala Sitharaman has been given the finance department again.
Another important department: Nirmala Sitharaman has taken charge of the Corporate Welfare Department, which oversees and takes decisions on corporate entities. As this responsibility has gone to him additionally this time, he is expected to take important decisions regarding start-up and corporate companies.
