It is a good habit to not respond to loaded questions, right?
Hmmm?
Especially looking at the thumbnail/title of the video,
it is pretty obvious that intent of the “content creator”
is to creat clickbait and trigger outrage.
Also FWIW, apparenlty the complete quote (being taken out of context) is –
“A sleeping partner cannot answer sitting here.”
which was provided in a direct response to a broker who said that the brokers are the ones who invest money and take risks, but the government becomes a sleeping partner and earns through various taxes including GST, IGST, Stamp duty, STT, STCG-tax/LTCG-tax.
When the loaded questions concern you, it needs to answered on spot. If your intent is clear, there is no problem answering, when you are exposing yourself to an unscripted public discussion.
Seems like many people are affected by the disease of BFS – Blind Faith Syndrome.

Naaah. i beg to differ.
IMHO, the Do NOT feed the trolls is a justified approach.
Attempting to engage in productive discussion with such folks in good faith, is almost always a waste of time, and disrespectful to others (in a shared public session) with genuine actionable concerns.
Of course, there are instances where one needs to win in the eyes of public media.
However, it appears that the FM was not insecure enough that she would feel the need to justify herself publicly.
Also, in addition to taxes being levied as a source of income,
taxes are also used as a lever to control the economy.
i.e. to disincentivize any behaviour deemed detrimental.
Sorry – rant – wont continue further.
Don’t expect much from them, taxes on markets keep getting raised step by step whether its fair or not.
In return, what we get is bad water, no real social security for people in trouble, bad air, now it seems food has risks too.
Focus seems to be on slogans and catch phrases, buying opposition leaders or jailing them, joke of a press, just keep saying modi modi and development development, ayush, mandir etc etc.
Never liked politicians, modi gave false hope.

This is a reality already affecting most metros and Tier-1 cities.
Relatively higher wages / income in such cities is a false mirage
when the cost of basic necessities (clean food, water, air, land) keeps growing faster.
@SpacemanSpiff Nothing can be done buddy. People don’t their leaders accountable instead they treat them as celebrities.
Don’t worry though, everything will alright. Just set your sails firm, your feet firmed into the ground and focused on your goals. The ship will survive the storm.
ACTIVELY AVOID PEOPLE WITH BFS THOUGH.
Nothing lasts forever you know.

I hope you are NOT falling prey to the fundamental attribution error
and jumping to the conclusion that anyone with a contrary opinion is a blind-faith-moron
and dismissing any opinion that is contrary to yours as “BFS”.
