The political face-off between Rahul Gandhi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has entered round two, following their earlier exchange over the Tata Group. This time, the controversy centres on IDBI Bank’s proposed ₹52,878-crore sale to Canada’s Fairfax Financial. Rahul Gandhi has questioned the privatisation and raised concerns over employees rights, while Sitharaman defended the decision, accusing Congress of political interference in banking.
