00:00Congress party can every now and then come up with,
00:03oh, you're selling off the country, selling off.
00:06That's something which they are very good at.
00:08Did they sell off the railway, New Delhi Railway Station?
00:12Is it owned by Jijaji now?
00:16Does he understand what is monetization?
00:30I wish the opposition questions, with some homework done,
00:40who actually monetized the Mumbai-Pune Corridor?
00:45Was it not the Congress party?
00:49Was it not under the Congress party, which was headed by Shreem...
00:52and is even now being headed by Shreemati Sonia Gandhi,
00:5628,000 odd crores was raised by that?
01:00New Delhi Railway Station, who called for the RFP on it?
01:06Was it not the Congress party, somewhere between 2008-05,
01:10something like that?
01:11New Delhi Railway Station, RFP call for was made 27-10-2008.
01:222008, who was the Prime Minister then?
01:27Who was the Finance Minister then?
01:30And I would definitely ask Shri Rahul Gandhi,
01:36who, even when the Prime Minister was abroad,
01:39when he thought one of the ordinances was so outrageous,
01:43he tore it up in front of the media.
01:46Did he tear this RFP call for the New Delhi Railway Station
01:50to be monetized?
01:52Did he tear this out?
01:55If he indeed is against monetization,
01:58why wasn't the RFP for monetizing New Delhi Railway
02:02Station torn to pieces by Shri Rahul Gandhi?
02:08Is this not monetization?
02:11And if this is monetization, then did they
02:14sell off the railway, New Delhi Railway Station?
02:18Is it owned by Jijaji now?
02:24Does he understand what is monetization?
02:29Congress party can, every now and then,
02:32come up with, oh, you're selling off the country.
02:35That's something which they are very good at.
02:37They sold air, they sold water, they sold land,
02:40they sold mines, and made a lot of kickback with it.
02:45From 2014, I challenge if there's
02:50been even an allegation, a whisper of allegation,
02:53against Prime Minister Modi's government.
02:56The monetization pipeline that was announced by me
02:58the day before yesterday, two days ago,
03:01there is no change of ownership.
03:03The ownership is still with government of India.
03:05You in the media, particularly those
03:07who handle the business and finance and everything else,
03:10do understand it.
03:11I'm sure you will be able to ask the Congress
03:14party about the way in which they jump into conclusions
03:21and charge the government about, oh, you're
03:23selling away everything which has been built 70 years over.
03:26Something like that he did say.
03:2870 years over they built, and what did happen
03:32during the Commonwealth Games?
03:35Within one Commonwealth Games, they
03:37finished all that which can be creamed out
03:41into the accounts of their cronies.
03:44That is their business, not the government of Prime Minister
03:47Modi's.
