New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Lok Sabha on Friday, in a light-hearted manner, gave some advice to the Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) MP from Nagina constituency of UP. The Finance Minister advised the MP to change his name to Chandrashekhar ‘Vidur’ instead of Chandrashekhar ‘Ravana’.

He said that he recently came to know that Vidur had spent the last part of his life in Bijnor.

‘Vidur is a great character of Mahabharata’

The Finance Minister urged all the members that she was saying something light and she should not be misunderstood for this. He said, “Chandrashekhar ji has added the name ‘Ravana’ to his name… whereas Vidur is considered very scholar and is a great character of Mahabharata. Therefore add Vidur’s name, why Ravana’s?
