<p>“The Narendra Modi-led administration is in the process of selling India&#8217;s greatest treasures, which were constructed with public funds over 70 years by previous governments,” Gandhi stated during a press conference with senior Congress politician P Chidambaram.</p>
<p>The NMP, costing Rs 6 lakh crore, was presented on Monday by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and featured unlocking value by incorporating private enterprises across infrastructure sectors, from passenger trains and railway stations to airports, roads, and stadiums.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Previous Congress MP Sushmita Dev left the party today to join Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee&#8217;s Trinamool Congress, surprising many in her former party, who even reached out to her on Twitter.</p>
<p>The fact that her Twitter bio now reads &#8220;Former Member&#8221; of the party was the first indication that she had resigned this morning. Even though her resignation letter to Congress head Sonia Gandhi appeared quickly, the party has officially disputed both her departure and the letter.</p>
<p>Sonia Gandhi, the Congress President, has not received any correspondence from her. Before formally joining the party, Ms. Dev met with key Trinamool leaders, including Mamata Banerjee&#8217;s nephew Abhishek Banerjee and Derek O&#8217;Brien.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rahul Gandhi, the former Congress president, accused Twitter of intervening in India&#8217;s political process on Friday, calling the social media network biassed.</p>
<p>Mr. Gandhi claimed in his first video statement about Twitter banning his account that the company only listened to the government. After he shared a photo of the parents of a 9-year-old girl who was allegedly raped and murdered in Delhi, Twitter suspended his account last week.</p>
<p>Since last week&#8217;s move against Mr. Gandhi, Twitter India has suspended tens of thousands of accounts linked to the Congress, including the official party account and the accounts of over two dozen key figures.</p>
