Unfazed by criticism over his stand favouring Centre’s decision to lease out the airport here to Adani Enterprises, senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said on Saturday privatisation would help expand its potential and attract investors. The congress MP had faced flak not only from the Left parties but even from his own party for his stand favouring privatisation of the Trivandrum airport.
“Dear @drthomasisaac, thanks4yr thoughtful criticism of my stand on TvmAirport. I think you miss the point, which is not about revenue. It is about expanding the potential of the airport to its fullest, there by providing a better facility to businesses & locals & attracting investors,” Tharoor tweeted on Saturday in reply to a tweet by state Finance Minister Thomas Isaac.
