Assets belong to country, not BJP nor Narendra Modi: West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee attacks Centre on NMP policy

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee on NMP said that the entire country will stand together and oppose this "anti-people" decision. 

New Delhi: Slamming the Central government over National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP) policy, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday (August 25) said it is a ploy to sell the assets that belong to the country and called the monestisation scheme a “shocking and unfortunate decision.” The Trinamool Congress chief also alleged that the money generated from selling these assets will be used by the ruling BJP during elections against opposition parties, PTI reported.  “We condemn this shocking and unfortunate decision. These assets belong to the country. It is the property of neither Modi nor the BJP. They (central government) can't just sell a country's assets as per their whims and fancies," PTI quoted Banerjee as saying.
