The Congress is planning to hold press conferences across India over the Centre’s National Monetization Pipeline.
The press conferences will take place between August 31 and September 3.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched the National Monetisation Pipeline on Monday. NMP estimates an aggregate monetisation potential of Rs 6 lakh crore through core assets of the Central Government over a four-year period from FY 2022 to FY 2025.
Congress and the opposition parties are highly critical of NMP.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had attacked the Modi government over the proposed National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) recently and accused the BJP-led Central government of “putting India on sale”.
“The very first thing they sold was respect and now #IndiaOnSale,” he said in a tweet.
Calling NMP a “huge tragedy”, the Wayanad MP accused the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government of mishandling the economy saying the move was aimed at creating monopolies in certain sectors.
“What this country has built over the last 70 years, is being given away. There is an excuse they have come up with that we are leasing these. The government clearly mishandled the economy and doesn’t know what to do,” ANI quoted Gandhi as saying.
Claiming that the BJP and PM Modi did nothing in the last 70 years, Rahul alleged that the Centre “destroyed what the UPA built and now as a last resort, they are selling everything that we had helped create”.
