Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman travelled from Delhi to Jaipur aboard a Vande Bharat train to attend the BRICS Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (FMCBG) meetings, being held on August 12 and 13. According to Moneycontrol, the meeting brings together finance ministers and central bank governors from member countries to discuss key issues shaping the global and domestic economic landscape.

During the journey, she interacted with fellow passengers, including a group of women who chatted with her in a warm and cordial setting. The passengers later posed for photographs with the Finance Minister, making the journey all the more memorable.
