'Every govt worked to build the country except the current'

Gandhinagar, Sep 3 (IANS): Slamming the Narendra Modi government at the Centre, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera has said all the governments till now worked to build the country except the current NDA government which is "hell-bent on selling everything".

Khera said this while criticising the government over its recently-announced asset monetisation plan, saying the BJP was selling what the Congress and other governments created in 70 years.

"All the governments which came to power in the country till now, including Congress and other parties, worked for the country, to build it. Except the NDA government, which is in power since last seven and a half years, who are bent on selling whatever that the nation built," Khera said in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

"A clearance sale has been put up where every asset is being put on sale. They are selling roads, railways, airports, Power transmission, Power generation, natural resources, petroleum pipelines, mining, Food Corporation of India (FCI) godowns, seaports. All this is ours, our country's. A nice slogan can be put for this BJP move... Nationalization of losses and privatization of profit," he said.

"Before coming to power in 2014, BJP used to ask what the Congress did during the last 70 years. The answer is the list of assets which you are now selling. While we built India in those 70 years, BJP is now busy selling India," he alleged.

"You (BJP) are selling assets worth Rs 60 lakh crore at Rs 6 lakh crore to your friends. And that a, 6 lakh crore will also come from the pockets of public," said Khera.

"This move by the BJP government will destroy an entire generation, if we do not stop them now. I ask the public that shouldn't such government be stopped when an entire generation is being destroyed?" asked Khera.

"The Congress just cannot be a mute spectator and let all this happen. We are here today to ask the public regarding this, otherwise the coming generations will not forgive us. They shall know that when there was darkness all around, there was this party which stood up to stop all such sale," added Khera.

    "Sale of Indias Assets by BJP", the Modi government has undertaken the sale of Rs 6 lakh crore worth of India's national properties created over the last 67 years. The "For Sale" of India's hard-earned assets is the single biggest "anti-national" act. The national properties are being sold -- rather squandered away by the Modi government as a "clearance sale"."The Rs six lakh crore sale of India's properties is shocking as the Modi government has put India's every public asset on sale," These include, 27,000 kms of highways, 6,000 MW of power generation and 28,000 kms of power transmission lines, 8,000 kms of gas pipeline, 210 lakh metric ton of foodgrain storage, 2.86 lakh kms of telecom fibre and 15,000 telecom towers, 25 airports, nine ports, 761 mining blocks, two national stadiums, 1.52 lakh crore worth of railway property. Along with ‘disinvestment' and ‘privatisation', the Modi government has now hit upon the idea of ‘monetisation', that is, transferring effective ownership of public assets created over the last 67 years to a handful of crony friends, while the government will hang on to a piece of paper of ownership that will only be returned to the government at the end of 30 to 50 years. "Two consequences will definitely follow. Firstly, income from the government owned public assets will not be available to the nation or its future generations for the long lease period of 30 to 50 years. "Secondly, opportunities for India's poor and people belonging to SC, ST, OBC in the shape of reservation in jobs or investments in underdeveloped areas will be finished ,"They are selling roads, railways, airports, Power transmission, Power generation, natural resources, petroleum pipelines mining, Food Corporation of of India (FCI) godowns, seaports. (BJP) are selling assets worth Rs 60 lakh crore at Rs 6 lakh crore to their friends. And that a, 6 lakh crore will also come from the pockets of public money ,"

    Try to make your 'narratives' little more grammatically correct. Replace 'either' with 'anyway' for starters.

    This Government is only giving the stock market a boost. When economy is shattered. Selling Govt. assets main motive of the present Gujj run government. Next items in the selling list would be the IIT's & IIM's.

    No. This Central Government supports ONE state at a time. Once Gujarat is done, and all Gujju businessmen become DOLLAR billionaires, the Central Government will move to develop some other state. So I guess all those who voted for this Government need to exercise patience. Just wait until all the Gujju businessmen become billionaires. Already a handful have achieved it. So have patience! Even Rome was not built in a day!
