Congress leader Sachin Pilot on September 1 slammed the Central Government over its National Monetisation Pipeline policy. He said that the Centre only believes in "marketing and branding". “The Govt of India is known for marketing and branding. I recall we have had a very successful polio eradication campaign, that went on for decades. Never saw then PMs, leaders marketing or making people feel obliged about it,” he said. “The money that GoI will raise, will it go to fulfill the Rs 5.5 lakh crores deficit that we are running today or is it there to boost revenue? The monetization and strategic giving away of our assets is what we are opposing,” he added.
