New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi slammed the BJP-led Union government for its decision to privatise public sector units (PSUs) in all sectors barring four strategic ones.
Taking to Twitter the Wayanad MP cited a news report about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address at a webinar on privatisation by the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) and said, "Sirf 'hamare do' ka kalyan- 'Hum do' unke, PSU unke, Vikas bhi sirf unka, Jan ka kya" (Only the well being of 'our two' ensured--'Us two are theirs, PSU are theirs, development is also just theirs, what about the people).
Rahul Gandhi has been using the 'Hum do Hamare do' jibe to allege that the government is promoting "crony capitalism".
