Reason Behind Why Nirmala Sitharaman not contesting Lok Sabha elections
The reason behind why Nirmala Sitharaman not contesting Lok Sabha elections is very quite surprising she stated that she dont have any kind of funds required to launch a poll campaign.
Also added that “After thinking over a week or ten days, I just went back to say… maybe not. I do not have that kind of money to contest. I also have a problem whether it is Andhra Pradesh or Tamil Nadu. It’s also going to be a question of various other winnability criteria that they use. Are you from this community or are you from that religion? Are you from this? I said no,
I do not think I am going to able to do it. I am very grateful that they accepted my argument…So I am not contesting,” Sitharaman said during the Times Now Summit 2024. For more updates click
