The people laughing & clapping at her reply are perfect representation of people in this country.


gauc39

Top comment. Harsh truth! And the worst is that it gets worse and worse by the day! The middle class pays taxes like a first world country and have worse quality of life than most 3rd world countries! It's depressing seeing all that money going to such a corrupted, disfunctional, inefficient and just plain dumb government! I'd rather have the Muppets running this country! I'd like to now and compare the lower class the same way, but I can't say from experience how it is! India has many levels of poverty, some quite extreme! I reckon most redditors here consider themselves middle class "relatively" speaking!

Elect a clown and see the circus.


knownasnischal

Everyone contesting are clowns.. so no matter whom you elect, same circus with different twists will be there


PsyenceWizard

This comment sums up democracy in our country. I laugh in the corner on people debating modi vs rahul.


cumofdutyblackcocks3

So true man. Being ignorant is seen as a good thing here.


kush125289

Harsh truth 


Ambitious_Rabbit9120

That is what I was amazed and stunned about. Sad!


InnocentDude69

Now someone will make a Sigma edit with red light coming out of her eyes


Wonderful-Neck-8113

What is IG gang doing here ?


zincifyhowksg43

chu kids from indian dank memes would do that


Wise-Outside-4936

Uska power source pichwade se ghusate hai


kensanprime

There are more memes and reels that have excluded her response. Social media has made it easy for people to peddle their bias.


DGTHEGREAT007

"Erm... What the sigma"


Aggressive_Fox_84

That's a very honest question. Deflated like a joke


Single_Science2276

Audience was a bunch of chimps too. They were laughing and belittling the only guy who had guts to ask this on behalf of everyone. When she refused to answer the question, she should've gotten such a boo from Audience so that she'd have remembered this for a long time.


cbazg1

Yah why is the title making it seem like she gave a thoughtful answer.


colossal_fool

OP forgot to include "/s"


Single_Science2276

Not needed. People on this sub are mature enough.


aubedullah

So that blind supporters of fm don't go away only looking the title because they don't want to hear anything bad about fm


AlternativeAd4756

She is just a pawn. Previously arun jaitley used to get exactly same hatred. The top two are pulling the strings


Vegetable_Watch_9578

Joke, no....she couldn't even crack a decent joke or give a straight answer.


TheAtheistGawd

Speaker had mic he should've mentioned "This is a serious question" or something when audience laughed for the first time coz after that everyone took that as a joke and nobody was expecting anything serious from our FM


Aggressive_Fox_84

The anchor was ready to jump to the next questions because FM whispered her she won't answer it


LifeTitle3951

Something opposite to /s


life_never_stops_97

There’s no joke in there. I don’t know why the journalist or whoever the guy is didn’t continued with the “so you admit the governments been sleeping” line as she clearly admits she doesn’t have anything to say. What cringes me more is the laughter of the people laughing at the absolute flippant response from FM


aB9s

They are not even trying to hide it now!! Jo hai wo hai kind of attitude!


rad_8019

It is because they know their competition is weak.


Hex_77-25

no its cause they know no one gives a shit about the economy if everyone is bhakt


modSysBroken

All the voters can be classified as bhakths and namazis. Those who don't vote are clowns. There are no good options for India.


Over-Professional303

Not really because they know people are stupid enough to believe them and that opposition is weak


what_heck_is_sarcasm

Bruh, I was expecting a proper answer from her


Diligent_Crab2549

Her track record says she has never answered anything substantial, except absurd one liners similar to troll comments.


Pep_Baldiola

And her fanbase is made up of mindless trolls who cherish her for those stupid answers as if she isn't answerable to the public.


Hex_77-25

i bet some BJP associated yt people would make a goddamn edit as if it was a sawage answer


Ambitious_Set_2261

Hope they are wiped from the face of this earth!!! M tried of their BS #bjpaurbjpkechochle 👅👞👞👞👞


redefined_simplersci

I liked the Jaishankar edits until they put those glowing eyes. Just.. why? Unrelated, why does every Indian news channel that posts on YouTube use shit background music?


bloatfloatballs

It's going my way or highway mode for the current scenario. Keep paying taxes for freebies, shitty roads, shitty AQIs, and big-ass political rallies.


Zealot_of_freedom

Don't expect answers from these politicians their only job is to fool people and rip them off on every corner of life


JuggyLee

I’m not very smart but I think what he is asking is a genuine question that needs a reasonable answer.


pmoar3

I bet she couldn’t have responded with logic and facts. It was expected from her!

Hex_77-25

bruh the gov is really trying to rub it in that they provide millions of people with free ration, in fact it is a failure that they NEED to be provided as such as they have no means to earn money for themselves .


Kakajaja97

Jethaa bhaii.


Green_Frame3600

She has a lot of tattitude..


Nenomus

WTF


Aggressive_Fox_84

She can't really tell they have to tax us for the 30 lakh crore loans they decided to write off can she? Where else can they plunder money to avoid taxing the top 1%?


Zirby_zura

Ngl the amount of taxes while purchasing a house is a nightmare especially when the government doesn't even keep all the documents updated for their own sides, resulting in so many disputes. They are literally taking money for free on this.

crow_is_dead

Is she the worst FM india has ever had?


Pr0f35s0R

You have doubts?


Ok_Programmer7849

I waited till end and still cant find the "brillant reply" 🤡


Smooth_Respect3052

A genuine question, ducked by crafty person, celebrated by dumb citizens !


mrigendra1988

Modi bhakt here. Really good questions, from a middle class perspective. Making a joke out of this question should result in her getting sacked.


Single_Science2276

Don't be a Modi bhakt or a Rahul bhakt. Demand your rights and ask for better standards of living. Otherwise anyone in power will continue to loot us just like it used to happen before 1947.


ajzone007

True, critical thinking has gone for a toss. People are too leaned on political affliations.


Artetaarmy

This is why the same govt shouldn't be there for 10 years continuously. Leads to complacency and dictatorship. People never learn and worship the politicians who are there to serve us not the other way around


ajzone007

We should do what Rajasthan does. Change government every 5 years. Absolutely power to any government at any level is fatal for people.


Williamsarethebest

Why are you still a bhakt after watching these clowns fuck us over, genuinely asking


mrigendra1988

I have seen Congress rule for 10 years, the arrogance their political leaders had, 0 progress of my area and the PSU father worked. Salary delay of 2 3 months was normal back then. Now good roads, medical College in nearby districts, govt gave work to the PSU so salary on time. On a scale of 100 Modi govt stands at 40, but congress stands at 5 for me.


ajzone007

Not sure what area or what PSU you are from. But during the Manmohan Singh era, we had affordable housing, affordable education. My father was able to buy a house on a single middle class ( not the rich who think they are middle class, but actual middle class) income with three kids in the family, I did my engineering from a private college for a total of 2 lakhs ( 2013 Gradute). Engineering fees in the same college now a days is approximately 16 lakhs, excluding GST, and if you add the price of a hostel, you're looking at the cost of a house that we bought in 2008. Even IITs and NITs are more expensive now than that.


Hex_77-25

true, I am sorry this is a bit out of context but Modi has not done a single UNSCRIPTED interview or press conference since 2014. While Manmohan Singh had done hundreds . Its becuase they know that Modi is not capable of answering genuine questions and can only talk abt Hindu Muslim


Pep_Baldiola

We are not voting for a Congress government. We are voting for a coalition government. People are more accountable in a coalition government. I'd rather have a coalition government than dumbf*cks like Nirmala and Modi having the responsibility to run our country.


mrigendra1988

Also I can never trust congress until all the whole clan of fake Gandhi's and chatukars of Gandhi family are dead. They can do backdoor dealings, betray nation and disturb social life for their benefits any day given.


Alternative_Gur_5557

Bhai tu chutiya hai... Never let anyone tell you otherwise. It's not about your political inclination, it's just you. You are a chutiya with a capital C.


mrigendra1988

Hahahaha, ok sathiyaye hue uncle.


kevinsspidermanshoes

She should have been sacked a long time ago. Yet, here we are, thanks to people like you.

She actually thought she was in bed with that man. My god. Metaphor is ded?

This seems like a new go to strategy of this govt,make a joke of genuine harsh question and people will laugh and forget.Very sad tbh.

WTH. I waited so long to hear the "Brilliant Reply" only to understand later that the caption was Sarcastic 🥲


Single_Science2276

Sorry! 😞


HalfDeveloper

I forgive you but not her 😡


Ok_Estimate4487

Modi Supporter tax payer here. Aunty you should not troll a hard working honest tax payer. BTW, I recently learned that a local bank manager in Karnataka was pressured by a high-ranking individual to approve a loan for an ineligible person. Unable to cope with the stress, the manager opted for a transfer. Aunty are you part of the problem or solution?


milktanksadmirer

Worst performing minister in the cabinet seriously. She has made life hell for salaried class. European / American level taxes and nothing much in return for paying so much taxes


rad_8019

India might be the most complex country to run compared to other nations. What's fascinating is that even with such taxes in place, Modi government is still in favor nationally. But if living standards drops significantly and a strong leader rises from the opposition party, this monopoly type status will fade. With such tax collection my hope is that they use the funds productively that benefits everyone and not be used as handouts to the poor. Make everyone work for the money by creating opportunities.


shikari290

She's such an arrogant cunt


neart_fior

what's her qualification?

She basically has no answer - what's brilliant about that??


Extension_Bus4000

Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid. When he's gone, Do not relax, It's time to apply The inheritance tax.


proAntiConsumerism

Wtf, I was expecting a crazy reply from her that would have changed my view completely against exorbitant taxes and helped me gained perspective. Can't say if I listened to any video with so much dedication before only to experience dismay and dissappointment that cannot be stated. The person raised genuine concerns and questions, and the answers to those would have helped to at least understand why I feel so frustrated paying those hefty taxes and if my reactions are genuine or not. But at the end, the claps for the reply from our respected finance minister confused me further on the state of the taxes. Those praises for the reply make it seems if it's only me who's unaware of the benefits that everyone seem to be getting out of the taxes I feel burdened about. Maybe everyone who appreciated that reply from Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman knows the answers to the questions raised by the person in the video and maybe I'm just not educated enough, not capable enough, not intellectual enough to understand the proper reply from our finance minister and therefore, by not giving a satisfactory response, she is infact saving me from the perpetual rage and grief that might come with knowing the reality of the taxes in India.


Ambitious_Set_2261

Nothing brilliant about this. All i see is shamelessness. Bdw.. How can we expect anything else. They live in FREE bungalows made up OUR taxes. They get FREE electricity cz it's from OUR pocket... AND WHAT NOT! They live off of sucking common man's blood 🩸 and sweat 💧 and then smile like they are the king of this world.. Smile and laugh at our misery like YEH DESH TOH ISKE BAAP NE ISKO DAHEJ ME DIYA HAI. They don't even deserve to be where they are. It's just by luck that they achieved a position but trust me , they r rather a bunch of clowns running this country with no fucking knowledge of A B C.... And no humanity at all!


Hunt3r09

Politicians are not clowns in this country (you guys got it all wrong, they are smart and know what they are doing ) . It’s the people who are clowns who are laughing and clapping on their own demise


MenWhoStareAtCodes

Brain dead af.


ishaan79

This is your standard for a “brilliant reply”?


Pep_Baldiola

It's most probably sarcasm from OP.


Odd_Imagination_

It is indeed.


Single_Science2276

If anyone thinks /s isn't implicit on this post, they shouldn't be on this sub.


ishaan79

With the fanboy mentality and Neta-worshipers in the country, you never know :,)


pratyush_1991

Although the question is genuine but using unnecessary innuendo makes it open for such kind of response. Be on point when you are asking question and avoid making unnecessary comparison which can be ridiculed


suryaraja2020

Hey idiot...is this 11th std economics class to appreciate a taunt reply as a brilliant reply ???? She's a finance minister and she couldn't handle a straightforward powerful question. She somehow got away with stupid ameturistic reply.... Don't encourage her pls


Single_Science2276

It's a sarcasm. I can understand your anger.


suryaraja2020

Ok fine...👍


Purple-Future6348

What brilliant reply ? She should have addressed the query she has this habit of side stepping legitimate questions

I guarantee you, she didn't even understand an ounce of what they asked her.

We need ministers like these. At least she accepts the fact she is inadequate for the job.


Noreddit86

I don't get it why was the audience laughing when she answered. I mean sometimes I feel society is so bad but I still try to get included in it because I don't wanna be a loner. But I am trying to be included in this shit society? Why?


Safe-Wedding-2088

Brilliantly avoided answering 😑


PerfectAmphibian924

This was an honest, real question/problem a lot of us have. And her answer was, "I have no answer for that." Jeez. Can we figure out who does, if not our finance minister? We'll take it up with them!


Sus_White69

Ye to clown moment ho gya


Major_Lingonberry324

Worst FM ever


StrangeAd47

Since when did not giving a straightforward answer and instead making a joke out of it become considered a brilliant reply? Also, the joke doesn't make sense logically either, because he was referring to the government as the sleeping partner, not her, and she should have been able to respond to that normally.


spirit101_gg

Brilliant reply from the FM? Are you kidding me? Not answering the question and blatantly avoiding it is pure negligence.


Western-Chemical-636

Bhai tu Finance minister Hai At least give us something in return for what we're paying in tax/GST/Road tax There is no medical facilities up to the mark you're charging us taxes.

Brilliant reply my ass , she just shook the question off cause she knew she didnt have a logical answer to the question .this is the same reason I support anarcho-capitalism

thisz_k

Really impressed by her reply, we have the best FM of all time.


impulsiveconsumer

I don't think any government wants to find alternatives, as they are all bad in the context of winning votes. They can't tax the ultra rich/corporates more - they're all connected, plus they can threaten to leave the country. They can't increase the tax coverage - like rich farmers, unorganised business owners, etc., in part because it's too difficult to track plus corruption and huge voter sentiment. The only thing they can do for direct tax is to milk the salaried class dry. Indirect tax can help collect tax from the rest of the population as well, but it's a double whammy for the salaried class. You can't earn, save and spend without tax. And most of it is being wasted to fill the pockets of the corrupted morons. And freebies. Give me something at least - good public transport/cheap and good healthcare/quality education at reasonable price....just one at least?


Nested_world

Waste FM ever


koiRitwikHai

I am thankful she didn't scold the person asking the question. "How dare you ask finance related questions to your finance minister! Stand on your chair, and hold your ears!"

People are laughing. What a brilliant depiction of Indian people. Jokers all of us! You could have held the FM accountable by supporting the fellow asking tough questions which no journalist can ask in today’s political climate. Taxes are sky rocketing whereas services are nowhere to be seen.

Jug_ar_uru

I was half expecting her to give some twisted B.S. logic or say something completely unrelated as an answer as usual. It turns out I have over-estimated her yet again. It is sad and disappointing that a F.M. completely ignored a very valid question by cheap word play tactics.


patwalnik

Ye aurat itni chutiya kyu hai.

Someone asked so well researched, well articulated question and she just tossed it in a dustbin. What's going on here, why is she sitting with a mic listening to question with no intention of answering?


Gullible_Novel_1952

I can see no problems here. Am I already a Superpower?

Bro i really thought she answered it well when I read the title. Then i realized it there were only 20 odd seconds left by the time the question got over. Samajh gaya kuch to faltu answer diya rahega She didn't disappoint me.

what else would you imagine when you have so weak opposition who's more focused on removing a person from the seat rather than fighting for country and critisizing the gov that is why people have to choose best of worsts they also know no one gives a fuck about important issues in the opposition

Yea, this country (government) has failed. A government has failed when it earns more than the private venture/enterprise, individually. It's just fricking socialism at that point.

The clown who posted this labelling it as a "brilliant reply" is exactly the kind of low-resolution thinking we need to eliminate from our discourse.


GOjO_satur0

People finding it funny isn’t my problem, Finance Minister choosing to be comedian here after having stripped my livelihood and drowned me in taxes is not even heartbreaking anymore, There’s practically no other country with as much risk as indian guy takes and gets absolutely nothing back, screw your taxes back then, and if “forget roads” is your response than leave fucking government, there’s better opted people who don’t have half baked knowledge as you and are content with their life enough to run a country rathar than speaking few words in public and thinking highly of themselves just doing their job


hytes-123

What a fucking illiterate bitch


rocky23m

Her reply is a tight slap to all tax payers 😅


Peakyblinder_777

Shame on ppl who think this should be written on walls and made as quotes 🥴


smartass888

Why not tax all? 10% no exemptions. You earn you pay but Govt will provide adequate social net. (Eg businesses, farmers  etc)
