Hyderabad: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government has changed the telecom policy after receiving electoral bonds worth Rs 150 crore from a company, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi claimed on Thursday.
In a post on 'X', the Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP said, "Modi government got electoral bonds worth Rs 150 crore from a company and the government changed its telecom policy. You can understand who benefited from the change in policy."
"If 2G was a scam then what is this?" he asked.
Owaisi tagged a picture of a news article which suggests that Bharti Group donated the amount.
In another post, the AIMIM leader said the country will have to decide whether to choose a Prime Minister who has a deep “bond” with the oppressed Indians, or one who is 'limited only by the money of the rich.'
Last month, a five-judge Supreme Court bench, headed by Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, said the electoral bonds scheme violates the right to information and the freedom of speech and expression under the Constitution.
मोदी सरकार को एक कंपनी से ₹150 करोड़ के इलेक्टोरल बॉण्ड मिले और सरकार ने अपनी टेलीकॉम नीति बदल दी। नीति के बदलने का फ़ैदा किसको हुआ ये आप समझ सकते हैं। अगर 2G स्कैम था तो फिर ये क्या है?
