Addressing the Rajya Sabha, Sitharaman, in a friendly banter, said that Raghav Chadha's exposure to the western world would help people within the country. "I was amused, sir, if Member Raghav Chadha does not take offense, he observed the number of fans in the bank, the condition of the bank, how many were whitewashed and not painted. I am really so, so satisfied. There are members of Parliament who are otherwise very busy with many things internationally," the Finance Minister said. "He has found time to visit rural banks and look at them, noticing there are no fans here, no doors, no chairs. Raghav Chadha, please do more of this. It will help people within the country because, with your exposure, particularly to the Western world, you can do a lot more here. Please do," she added.
Chadha was seen smiling as the FM gave her response to his speech. Earlier, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP expressed deep concern over the severe crises affecting the country's banking system. During the discussion on the Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024 in the Rajya Sabha, he questioned the central government's intentions, stating that the bill does not meet public expectations.
