It is the BJP that is selling ‘ornaments’ of Bharat Mata to private entities, says H.K. Patil

Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs, Legislation and Tourism, H.K. Patil has said that it is the BJP government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi which has taken away the “ornaments” of Bharat Mata and selling them to private entities.

Addressing a press conference in Hubballi on Tuesday, Mr. Patil said that the real ornaments of Bharat Mata are its assets in the form of roads, airports, railway network, transmission lines, public sector companies, among others.

“What has the BJP done under Asset Monetization programme and the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP)? How many assets of the country has it given away to its friendly corporate like Adani, Ambani and other Gujarati companies? When the Congress comes to power, it will not be a mere spectator. It will take back the assets of the country,” he said.
