Union Minister for Commerce Nirmala Sitharaman claims to have been conned into participating in a Budget Day TV discussion by Zee Business. In a series of angry tweets the Minister said, "Shocked to see me as a part of a ZBusiness panel. Was a one on one with anchor which has been cut and pasted into panel discussion!" She adds, "had I only known there were panelists raising imp issues on Z Business, I would have answered. Feel like I've been denied the opportunity."
