If there's a govt that listens, it's ours: FM

December 02, 2019 18:48

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman speaks in the Lok Sabha over criticism by the opposition parties:

"We are a government that listens, whether it is criticism or an input. When the home minister responded to an industry leader, it was with a clear attitude that we are willing to hear or take criticism.

"I have been told that I am the worst finance minister, they're not even waiting for me to finish my term. I told them that please give me more ideas, we will work on it.

"If there's a government that listens, it is PM Modi's government.

"I have been called names in Parliament. If it is in anyone's DNA to ask questions and run away before answers are given, it is some other party and not our party.

"Each time we come to give replies instead of name-calling."
