The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has alleged that the government’s National Monetisation Pipeline was a “dangerous bid” by the “bankrupt” Narendra Modi government to raise money by gradually handing over sectors such as rail, road, airport, and mining to corporations. The TMC’s deputy leader in the Rajya Sabha, Sukhendu Sekhar Roy, told reporters that the National Monetisation Pipeline was an “unprecedented anti-people move” that did not figure in the BJP’s election manifesto for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
