RishiSunak says he is proud of his mother-in-law
In a televised discussion on 18 July, former UK finance minister and potential primeministerial candidate Rishi Sunakaddressed the scandal of his family's wealth. AkshataMurthy, daughter of Infosys founder NarayanaMurthy and writer and teacher Sudha Murthy, is the wife of sage Sunak.The tax system of the former UK chancellor's family has long been a source ofcontroversy.
In the debate that aired on ITV on Sunday, Sunak expressedpride over the journey undertaken by his mother-in-law.Sunak said, "My father-in-law came from absolutely nothing and was just adream and a few hundred pounds that my mother-in-law's savings providedhim." "And from that, he went on to create one of thebiggest, most respected companies in the world that, by the way, employs thousandsof people here in the United Kingdom."
At least one of the candidates with the fewest votes will beeliminated, and a second round is expected on Tuesday. Out of 1,001participants in the Opinium poll, the former chancellor had the highest rating- about 24% - followed by Tom Tugendat, chairman of the Commons Foreign AffairsCommittee, with 19%. Trade Minister Penny Mordant came third with 17%, followedby Secretary of State Liz Truss with 15%.
The audience poll put former EqualityMinister Kemi Badenoch in last place with 12% of thevote.However, a Conservative Home website poll of grassroots members of theparty, released on Sunday night, indicated thatBadenoch could be on their side as she emerged as their topchoice, followed by Mordent. Huh. According to that poll, if Badenoch andMordount made it to the final two, Badenoch would win a one-on-one match 59 to31 percent of the time. Mordontwill also come up short against the eccentrics and trusses.
