Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu on Saturday attacked Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, alleging that he has behaved like a "business development
manager" and benefited industrialists while "sidelining" the government
companies.
Addressing a press conference at the party
headquarters, the Punjab Minister said that during Modi's rule,
industrialists got 18 major deals.
"The Prime Minister, in the
last five years, made 55 foreign trips and during those trips he was
accompanied by two prominent industrialists who got maximum business
deals," alleged Sidhu, a former BJP MP who joined the Congress two years
back.
In the last five years, the government companies, which
were earlier making profit, have now become loss-making companies, the
cricketer-turned-politician claimed.
"The government defence
companies, which had experience of over 50 years, were not given any
contracts," he charged, adding, "I want to ask the Prime Minister why he
thought about welfare of only two companies while the government
companies were left to die." He said Modi had declared in 2014, when he became the Prime Minister, that he won't allow corruption but he now stood "exposed".
