British PM Rishi Sunak: Since the resignation of Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak was being considered as a strong contender for the post of Prime Minister of Britain and the same thing happened. He will meet Maharaja Charles III on Tuesday to take over as the country's first Indian-origin prime minister. Rishi Sunak did not make history in Britain like this. There have been many reasons behind this. For example, his clear thinking about Britain and a solid plan to take the country forward, which Liz Truss did not have at all.Till two months ago, its effect was seen in the debate during the election for the post of PM. Looking at the figures in the election results, it would be known that Sunak was not far behind Liz, but Liz capitalized on the issue of 'Indian vs British' and got the post of Prime Minister leaving Sunak behind.Why Rishi Sunak was the first choice for the British PM, which of his qualities paved the way for the post of PM and how much the people of Britain like him… know 5 big reasons for this…1-Britain rescued from economic recession in Corona periodSunak started his political career in 2015 and was elected as the MP of Richmond, Yorkshire. Won three consecutive times and in 2020 Boris Johnson was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in the cabinet. This was the first post when Sunak won the hearts of the people of Britain. This was the era of Corona period. Britain was going through an economic downturn. Sunak helped Britain to overcome these conditions. Due to his achievement, every class appreciated his work.2- Liz's mistakes also made Sunak everyone's favoriteSunak got the benefit of Liz's decision and wrong policies directly. The people of Britain also realized that they had chosen the wrong leader as prime minister. Not only the public, the members of the Conservative Party also believed the same. After becoming the Prime Minister, who the public likes the most among Liz and Sunak, it was revealed in the survey of YouGov, in which Sunak was liked by the most people.Sunak, Boris Johnson and Penny Mordent, who would prove to be the best British Prime Minister, when this question was asked to the people of Britain, Sunak became the people's initiative choice.3- Gave relief to the hotel and tourism industryDuring his tenure as the Finance Minister, he took many such steps by which he made a place in the hearts of the people. Sunak helped 15 thousand crore rupees for the ongoing Eat Out to Help Out program for the hotel industry in 2020. Not only this, after deteriorating the situation due to Corona, he released a package of 10 thousand crores to improve the condition of the tourism industry.4- Steps taken for employees and self-employmentSunak took many steps for the employees and self-employed people. In 2021, he provided assistance of Rs 2 lakh each to the employees and self-employed people. The way Sunak tried to understand the situation in the country and find a solution, the people of Britain liked it.5- Sunak's apprehensions proved to be trueMost of Sunak's fears for Britain turned out to be true. Sunak had told a fairy tale of truss policy i.e. trussonomics to cut taxes and take loan from the central bank. It turned out to be true. In the mini budget, the Truss government cut the tax, but the middle class was given a rebate of 19 percent and the rich 45 percent. To protect Britain from inflation, he had advised to increase foreign exchange reserves, but this was not done. As a result, the British pound reached a 50-year low against the dollar and inflation became unbridled.
