PC echoed O’Brien to woo TMC to ‘… alliance’: FM

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman responded to a discussion on India’s economic situation by highlighting how former finance minister P Chidambaram cited arguments from TMC member Derek O’Brien. Sitharaman indirectly questioned whether Chidambaram was trying to get the TMC to attend the “dot dot dot” alliance. She also addressed the issues raised by Chidambaram, stating that he incorrectly claimed that the worker-population ratio hadn’t improved. Sitharaman provided data showing an increase in the worker-population ratio and a decline in youth unemployment rate.
