  • After 14 years of 'business career', Rishi Sunak started his political 'career' and became the Prime Minister of Britain within 7 years of becoming an MP. He grabbed the world's attention when he entered Downing Street as the first Prime Minister of Indian origin. He is also the youngest British-Indian to rank at number ten on the modern-day rich list.

After the Conservative Party suffered a humiliating defeat in the recently concluded parliamentary elections in Britain, its leader and outgoing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak immediately left his official residence "Ten Downing Street". Just as Sunak unexpectedly became prime minister, his exit came after the British people voted to end the Conservative Party's 14-year rule.

The political culture that Sunak displayed when his party suffered defeat is now widely praised. Daily Mail online edition writes, 'Sunak says he is not 'daunted' by the challenge as he becomes Britain's 57th Prime Minister, Ten Downing Street had entered However, the gamble he took by announcing the general election with 6 months left, it is being speculated that Sunak will not return to America for a finance career as a result of the election.'

Britain is in the grip of division, political instability and economic crisis as Sunak leaves power to the Labor Party. Sunak has handed over control of Britain, the world's sixth-largest economy, to Keir Starmer, leader of the centre-left Labor Party. Before leaving the office, Sunak said in a speech outside Ten Downing Street last Friday, "I want to say to the countrymen, I'm sorry." I hear your (people's) anger and frustration. I take responsibility for all the damage caused in this election.'

He has announced that he will also resign as the party leader after the 'formal arrangement' to choose his successor. Contrary to the practice of not wanting to leave the position immediately after reaching the post, even though he has won, he is preparing to resign as the leader of the party after the party suffered a 'shameful defeat'. In the parliamentary elections, the Labor Party has formed a new government with a huge majority of 412 seats, while the Conservatives have won only 121 seats and suffered the worst defeat in the history of the party. The Conservative Party has lost 251 seats compared to 5 years ago.

Despite the disagreements as an opposition party, Sunak has expressed his respect for the newly appointed Prime Minister Starmer as a decent, enthusiastic national servant. New Prime Minister Starmer also openly praised Sunak's achievements as Britain's first Asian-origin Prime Minister and his contribution to the country's service.

The leaders of the Conservative Party have admitted that a large number of voters who voted for their party earlier voted for the reform of the country and said that the party must now think seriously about winning back support. Sunak, the youngest Prime Minister, reached Ten Downing at the age of 42. After about 14 years of 'business career', Sunak started his political career and became the Prime Minister within 7 years of being an MP. He grabbed the world's attention when he entered Downing Street as the first Prime Minister of Indian origin. He is also the youngest British-Indian to enter 'number ten' in the list of rich people in modern times.

Sunak became Prime Minister on 25 October 2022, succeeding Liz Truss after Boris Johnson. He was previously the Finance Minister from 13 February 2020 to 5 July 2022. The son of first-generation immigrants, Sunak's family worked hard to send him to the expensive Winchester College. Now 44, Sunak's parents came to the UK from East Africa and are both of Indian origin.

Sunak was born in 1980 in Southampton, England. He was educated at Winchester College, Oxford University and Stanford University. His father was a general practice (GP) doctor and his mother ran her own pharmacy. Sunak's wife, Akshatamurthy, is an enterprising daughter of wealthy parents.

Sunak met Akshata Murthy (Mrs.) while studying at Stanford University in the US. She is the daughter of the billionaire founder of Indian tech company Infosys. According to 'Sunday Times', his wealth in 2024 is 651 million pounds. They are said to be richer than the British King Charles III. They have two daughters. Richmond Yorkshire is his parliamentary constituency. Now the area has changed to Richmond and Northallen, from where Sunak has won this time too.

Sunak also spent some time in California, USA. Before entering politics, he worked at the investment bank Goldman Sachs and two multibillion dollar hedge funds. He lost to Liz Truss in the leadership battle after the resignation of Boris Johnson. However, the prime ministership of predecessor Liz Truss also lasted only 45 days amid turmoil. In October 2022, she resigned in an uproar after her chancellor's (finance minister) mini-budget announced massive tax cuts and debt-fueled economic destabilization. Sunak became Prime Minister under extraordinary circumstances after the resignation of Liz Truss. He was the fifth Prime Minister in 8 years from the Conservative Party.

Truss defeated Sunak in the party leadership battle following Boris Johnson's resignation. Boris became very controversial, mainly over his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. Considered a deeply polarizing leader within his party, he survived a no-confidence vote in June 2022 but was forced to resign in July after mass resignations began pouring in from his cabinet.

Dr. who has been a councilor for the past 12 years in Sunakkai constituency. According to the words of Jagannath Sharma, Sunak believed that by strengthening the country economically, only through innovation and ideas, people will get employment. Sharma said that he had the opportunity to get to know Sunak well in 2015 through the selection process of the MP candidate. “He is very humble and respectful and respects others. He emphasized on multiculturalism," said Samael Sharma, who also participated in Sunak's election campaign, to Kantipur. "He used to say that if Sunak South and North England were leveled, people would get access to every service facility. He was active in making the Free Port and the Himalayan Dales Multicultural Hall.' Surya Prasad Subedi Sunak says that he has presented an example that politics can be done without any compromise on one's values ​​and beliefs, be it political or religious. "He created his image as a person who can combine his youthful energy and maturity of ideas and who can think and work for the long-term interests of the country," said Subedi.

Last year in January 2023, Sunak made five promises to the British people with priority. Reduce inflation, grow the economy, reduce debt, reduce NHS waiting times and stop illegal immigration. However, among his promises, inflation was the only one to come down as per the target. Some analysts said Sunak announced the general election six months early to garner voter support at a time when inflation had fallen. The main reason for the defeat of the Conservative Party is the frequent change of leaders in the party and the unstable politics within the party, the inability to implement the promises made after the election and its policies and the main problem is not being able to visibly change the expected changes in the level of the people, the state of the country and the economy. Dr. who has been Child Kailash Kaini understands.

After the 2019 general election, the party changed its leader three times. People remained in favor of stable politics and government. While the total number of immigrants was said to be limited to only 1000, in December 2023, 'net migration' or the total number of immigrants reached 685,000. His policy of reducing the immigration policy has failed completely. According to Kaini, there was no progress in the National Health Service (NHS) as written in the policy and the government failed in terms of economy and daily living.

"The Telegraph" newspaper wrote that Sunak, who never drinks alcohol, likes it very much. His contemporaries say he was frequently seen around Downing Street with a slice of cake. In a viral video clip, Sunak once told two schoolmates that he was addicted to coke. Sunak is also a fan of cricket.

After completing A Levels and gaining a place at Lincoln College, Oxford, he spent some time as a waiter at a curry house. He was 18 at the time. "Dad insisted he work at the Cottage Brosserie near Southampton Docks," says Sunak, "because he wanted to teach his son the value of hard work." Sunak quickly blended into the atmosphere of the restaurant. Starting as a table cleaner at the start of the job, he had become a fully seasoned waiter by the time he left the job. After the

Sunak, now Starmer

With his party's defeat, Sunak handed over power to 61-year-old Kier Starmer of the Labor Party. Starmer is also a newcomer to British politics. He was first elected as an MP in 2015. He was elected from the Holborn and St Pancras constituency, where he has lived with his family for many years.

According to the 'Washington Post', Starmer remained in the opposition but continued to work as a shadow minister. A resident of a small town in southern England, Starmer is a former prosecutor and human rights lawyer. He became Labor leader only in April 2020. Starmer's father was a tool maker.
