The first British Prime Minister of Indian origin took over 10 Downing Street (the official office of the Prime Minister) on October 25, the day after Diwali last year. Sunak took office amid serious political turmoil following the informal departure of the previous prime ministers.
Rishi Sunak, the first non-white British prime minister, marked 100 days in office on Thursday. In this regard, a new video is going viral on social media in which he is shown pledging to bring about change amid many other challenges, including rising inflation. The first British Prime Minister of Indian origin took over 10 Downing Street (the official office of the Prime Minister) on October 25, the day after Diwali last year. Sunak took office amid serious political turmoil following the informal departure of the previous prime ministers.
The ‘Partygate scandal’ shocked Boris Johnson and the country’s shortest-serving prime minister, Liz Truss. Since then, Sunak has laid out her top priorities, including managing the high-cost-of-living crisis following the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with a particular emphasis on curbing rising inflation. She wrote on Twitter on Thursday: “Others can talk about the change too, but I will bring this change.”
The accompanying video shows a “montage” (a combination of images) of his historic selection for the top job as “the youngest in modern history, 42, the first non-white at 10 Downing Street.” Politicians.” He laid out five key points of his New Year’s promises, including halving inflation, growing the economy, reducing debt, reducing NHS waiting lists and use of small boats, including the detention of illegal immigrants crossing the English Channel.
Sunak, the husband of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s daughter Akshata Murthy, has pledged to work for a free trade agreement (FTA) with India. But as political turmoil in the UK led to Diwali missing the FTA deadline last year, Sunak reiterated that his government would not “trade quality for speed”. Sunak faces many challenges and pressures. He recently had to remove the head of the Conservative Party, Nadim Zahawi, as minister. Apart from this, he is also facing enormous pressure due to the decision to retain Dominic Raab as Deputy Prime Minister, who is facing an investigation based on complaints from public officials. Dominic is accused of threatening officers.
