Neither had a dream nor role model: FM Sitharaman
Bengaluru, Feb 22: One had expected Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to say that she had a dream and a role-model in life, but alas it wasn't so and she was quite candid about it.
"When you were young, what was your dream, who was your role-model to get you to this position", she was asked at an interactive session hosted by Bangalore Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BCIC) on Sunday.
"Absolutely sweet question," responded Sitharaman.
Govt is facilitator, private sector driver of growth: Nirmala Sitharaman
"But
I
am
not
even
sure
I
had
a
dream.
I
just
kept
doing
what
was
before
me
and
went
along
the
flow."
"I
don't
think
I
chart
any
course
in
my
life.
I
walked
along
the
path
which
was
before
me
and
that
destiny
has
taken
me
wherever
I
am",
the
minister
said.

"Only thing is I better perform so that I don't disappoint people who have given me the responsibility and I don't want to disappoint the people of India," Sitharaman added.
