Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi Tuesday lashed out at the Central government over the National Monetisation Pipeline plan, alleging that the BJP-led government is selling all assets created in the last 70 years to the Prime Minister’s “industrialist friends”.
Rahul said while addressing a press conference along with senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said the Narendra Modi-led government is in the process of selling India’s crown jewels built by previous governments with public money over 70 years.
On Monday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had unveiled the NMP, worth Rs 6 lakh crore, that included unlocking value by involving private companies across infrastructure sectors — from passenger trains and railway stations to airports, roads, and stadiums.
