Nirmala Sitharaman Credits PM's Focus On Atmanirbharta In Defence Behind Op-Sindoor Success
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Saturday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been emphasising Atmanirbharta in defence production after taking over in 2014, which has enabled India to successfully carry out Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. "It was completely opposite to a government which said that it didn't have the money to spend on defence procurement," she said in an oblique reference to the erstwhile Congress-led UPA government.
