Congress MP Kapil Sibal accused the central government of encouraging crony capitalism, and stated that they are “indulging in vote bank politics in the Budget and note bank politics off Budget”.
He even targetted the central government on their aatamanirbhar campaign and said its nothing but its about few ‘big boys’ in the political game.
Sibal also targeted the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman on her self-reliance campaign wh, “but are our farmers self-reliant, our Dalits self-reliant, our minority brothers and sisters self-reliant, our MSME sector self-reliant, our small businesses, traders self-reliant?”
“You have been in power from 2014. No more excuses. Congress was in power for sixty years; you have been there for six years. And, so, your report card will have to be looked into,” he told the treasury benches.
“There are four-five big boys in this country who own almost all assets in this country, and one very big boy is everywhere. I will not name anybody. He is everywhere, ports, airports, city gas distribution centres, railways – everywhere. I mean, I see his footprint everywhere.”
Today Rahul Gandhi will be speaking in the Lok Sabha on Budget and will be the first from the Congress party to speak in the Lok Sabha.
