Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman caught scolding SBI Chairman. Bank Officers blame Minister and later withdraw the press release

Madam FM …..First look into ur ministry…den lecture somebody else….It doesnot matter if the person is Chairmain/CMD or her peon….Every one deserve respect….
And if u hab to go by efficiency parameters…Madam u r the one who shud put the papers…..Kindly check the economy Madam…or u hab outsourced it to the PMO

Please think of the thousands of people who suffered because of this CONTINUOUS ineptitude. Months and years go by without the job getting done. Enough of these niceties. Look at what is happening in the case of GST and INFOSYS. Sometimes one has to break into this slumber and this lethargy.

Our Chandrayaan mission failed almost nearing the scheduled landing site. Our Prime Minister witnessing the launch, did not show his wrath on the ISRO Chief. Not withstanding the failure the PM complimented the heroic efforts of the ISRO staff.
The finance minister if she was sure of the wrong doings of the SBI then she should have demanded the CMD of SBI to put in his papers. That would have made all CMDs of PSBs aware of the absolute powers of the Finance Minister.
Banking is service oriented sector privatise it like other Navratna public sector units.

An ugly woman with ugly mind.

Was the Discussion bugged/recorded or was somebody recording the outburst in a clandestine manner. LEAK was made to fish in troubled waters. This is the main issue. Remember Chidambaram, as a Finance Minister, Bugging the chamber of Pranab Mukerji, the Finance Minister.
Was the Bugging done to bring out an in-house matter in public domain and show Nirmala in a bad light.The Leak seems to have been deliberately done to cause embarrassment.
I will not be surprised if some Disgruntled-high-and-mighty-Ex FM has a hand in this deliberate leak.

You guys seem to know everything.

There is no abuse in this exchange.What rubbish reporting is this. These bank chairmen think they can take the Govt. for a ride because the Finance Min is a woman.

The SBI is owned by the GoI, whose representative is the Finance Minister. All employees of the SBI, including its MD, CEO, Chairman have signed up to report to the GoI. The SBI, as described by the FM in the Guwahati conference, had taken actions that were detrimental to the public around Guwahati. It is expected of the FM, in public, to take action in public on the public property that is the SBI. If the SBI CEO and/or his minions think they are answerable only in private not in public then they need to leave their chairs so the public can get the public bank to work for the public in public.

It is beyond the pale that the public sector banks have staff that are timid, lazy, lethargic and desirous of making off the public trust given them. Our private sector banks are no less incompetent. Money is a myth in our country, whereas it hails the republics in other nations.

The SBI, its chairman and the Indian republic are none the worse for the smooch from the Union Finance Minister.

Reckless and immature behaviour by engaging in verbal tirade. Many a times the minister ‘seems’ to be confident by becoming arrogant in words and action. Such kind of maltreatment works only in our country.

Applause!!!
PGurus, is this petty incident worth publicizing?
Your real goal is to push your pet Swamy for the post of FM, is it not?
And he’s a guy who publicly keeps running down everyone, including the PM!
Plz don’t be small minded.
Overall, FM NS is working hard & doing a good job.

Most of the top management officials are themselves arrogant and they always follow hire and fir policies. Many officers association bearers behave like dictators. Those who abuse officials at branches, take credit for success and send shocking abuses when NPA goes up.
The divinity of CMD had gone down the drain, ever since suit case policy is adopted. To reach top position , many play politics and develop cozy relationship with politicians. Unless top management is fired, nothing will work.

Shame on the FM! What does she know about the various constraints the banks are facing in implementing the stupid schemes of the central government? Just to cover-up her failure in steering the finance ministry, she seems to have taken the route of abusing the Bank MDs. This is not going to bring laurelss to the mminister!

FM shouldn’t have behaved so rudely with the chairman in front of his employees. This indeed is disappointing.

She lost control. Bad mouth woman is not good either for house or for nation. PM must take steps to control his ministers. Public scolding is worse. She behaved like a school teacher.

i think its allright to scold a govt employee in whatever way, if he is taking duty forgranted and playing with public money/resources.

I applaud Mrs Nirmala for being bold and taking a courageous step at the cost of criticism for safeguaring public money.

SBI chairman and all involved staff in wrong doing should be given strict penalty/pension removal/jail, like financial wrong doings of businessman like nirav/lalit/mallaya.

Govt employee must be devoted to serve public and in no way he/she can play with public resouces or consider him/herself above public.

It is not expected of a cabinet central minister to treat the chairman in public. She should know her limits while dealing with leaders in different fields.

Shame on you Mrs Nirmala Sitharaman. How dare you talk like this to SBI Chairman????? Is he your personal peon, appointed on your personal money??? Even to such person, you have to talk in a humane way. Lady, Power has gone to your Nut Head. Behave yourself. Check your Blood Pressure problems first. You are are shame in a Democratic Country. PM Modi must kick out this third rate mindset dumbo arrogant lady
