‘Why not convince BMS first,’ former Finance Minister asks
Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram on Tuesday took a dig at the Narendra Modi government by asking why it has not been able to convince the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh, an affiliate of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the benefits of the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP). The BMS, which plans to hold a protest against inflation on Thursday, has announced a nationwide protest against the monetisation policy on November 2. “If the Prime Minister, Finance Ministers and the ministers are so sure about the merits of the National Monetisation Pipeline, why don’t they first convince the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS)?” asked the former Finance Minister.
