Congress on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “deliberately” destroying India’s top oil and gas producer ONGC so that one of the “humare do”, an apparent reference to Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani, the two richest Indian industrialists, takes it over. Earlier this week, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation got a record third interim chairman in Rajesh Kumar Srivastava as the government has not made a full-time appointment yet.
An oil ministry order said Srivastava has been entrusted with an additional charge of chairman and managing director “for a period of 4 months with effect from September 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022 (i.e the date of his superannuation) or till the appointment of a regular incumbent to the post, or until further orders, whichever is the earliest.”
