The Left parties on Thursday hit out at the government over the decision to lease out three airports to the Adani Group, alleging that the move was a “loot of national assets” and would lead to an escalation of ticket prices.
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the proposal for leasing out airports at Jaipur, Guwahati and Thiruvananthapuram through public-private partnership (PPP).
“Privatisation of airports is loot of national assets to fatten profits of cronies. Then issue Electoral Bonds to raise party funds.
“Kerala CM’s letter makes it clear that this is happening by betraying assurances of PM Modi on the state government’s proposal,” said CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury in a tweet.
