Due to the fact that Sunak of Indian origin became the Prime Minister of Britain, there was also a happy atmosphere in India. In the social media, there were also messages that Indian-origin sage Sunak will now rule over the British who enslaved India for 200 years. Let it be known that Rishi Sunak of Indian origin is the son-in-law of Narayan Murthy of Infosys.
Indian-origin Sunak, 42, was the only candidate who had the support of more than 100 MPs. This number was also required for contesting elections. The leader of the House of Commons, Penny Mordont, had so far received little support. Earlier last week, Liz Truss announced her resignation as Prime Minister. After this, the ruling party was busy selecting the third Prime Minister this year. The UK is also currently facing serious political upheaval and serious economic challenges.
Many people including Preeti Patel supported Sunak
Many prominent Conservative Party lawmakers have left Johnson’s camp to support the Indian-origin Sunak. In which the names of former Home Minister Priti Patel, Cabinet Minister James Cleverly and Nadeem Jahavi are included. Patel is a former British minister of Indian origin who resigned last month after Liz Truss was elected prime minister. He said the Conservative Party should give Sunak a chance to lead. In such a situation, Britain is set to get its first non-white Prime Minister.
