“The matter of “loot” never goes out of the mind of the Congress because the same thing was prevalent during their time,” the Finance Minister said.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said “loot” exists in the DNA of the Congress and this tendency was reflected during its rule as she slammed the Sonia Gandhi-led party for its criticism of the Centre’s asset monetisation pipeline scheme.
Addressing a press conference at the Chhattisgarh BJP office Kushabhau Thakre Parisar in Raipur, she said the Narendra Modi government’s development principle is based on empowering people and not only offering entitlements to them.
“The matter of “loot” never goes out of the mind of the Congress because the same thing was prevalent during their time [rule]. “Loot” in the spectrum, mines, water, they are those who have committed “loot.”
