Political life of Rishi Sunak
In 2015, Rishi Sunak, who jumped into the political arena, contested as a Conservative Party candidate and was elected MP for Richmond. A supporter of Brexit, he served as a minister in the then Prime Minister Theresa May’s government. Rishi supported and lobbied Boris Johnson as Prime Minister in the 2019 election. After Boris Johnson won the election and became Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak was given the post of Chief Secretary to Finance.
Then in 2020, Rishi Sunak was given a cabinet position next to the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Rishi Sunak’s actions in the financial sector during the Covid era have earned him appreciation. At the same time, many people are criticizing the fact that he has made great progress in politics in a short period of time. As the new Prime Minister is to be elected within two or three months, there is an expectation among Indians that a person of Indian origin will be elected as the Prime Minister of Britain for the first time.
