Claim: Modi government is planning to sell 6 lakh crore rupees worth national assets over the next four years.
Fact-check: No, the central government is not selling off assets worth 6 lakh crores through the proposed National Asset Monetisation Pipeline - FACTLY
Verdict: through national asset monetisation pipeline, the government is planning to lease out public assets for specified time period through different instruments including the ppp model. ownership of these assets will remain with government and the government will retain these assets after the specified lease period. this idea is misconstrued as government trying to sell off the national assets. in fact such attempts were made even during the previous upa regime when the then government proposed to monetise assets of air india. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
