Govt’s Monetisation plan will sell the country: Congress

New Delhi : Congress on Monday said the National Monetisation Policy, set to be launched by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today, is made “to sell the country”.

“There was a time when they used to make the wealth of the country… And..Today a program to sell the country is being made. If Modi is there then this is possible,” Congress Spokesman Randeep Singh Surjewala said in a tweet.

The Union Budget 2021-22 laid emphasis on asset monetisation as a means to raise innovative and alternative financing for infrastructure and included a number of key announcements.

The monetisation scheme comprises a four-year pipeline of the Central Government’s brownfield infrastructure assets.

Besides providing visibility to investors, NMP will also serve as a medium-term road map for the asset monetisation initiative of the government.
