Nirmala Sitharaman attacks Rahul Gandhi, says Congress-led UPA regime used public banks as ATMs for cronies

A war of words erupted between Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over public sector banks (PSB) in the country.

While Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP-led Centre of using PSBs as an unlimited source of funds for “fraudulent friends”, Sitharaman hit out at the MP saying the Congress-led UPA regime treated public banks as “ATMs for their cronies and shady businessmen”.
