Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has recently come under attack from her political opponents who accused her of being insensitive towards the onion price rise in the country.

The critics which included Congress supporters, shared a brief sixteen second clip of Sitharaman in which she can be heard saying that, ”I don’t eat a lot of onions. I come from such a family which does not care a lot for Onions”.

This was soon spun by Sitharaman’s detractors as her dismissing the onion price rise as it does not affect her personally.
