Modi's own constituency airport Varanasi is among 11 AAI airports being handed on 50-year leases to private players - Adani, who already operates 8 airports controlling 90% of India's privatised airport market, is aggressively bidding again.
The Adani group now wants a rule change to also launch an airline; meaning one entity could soon own the airport, set landing fees, and run the competing airline.
AAI airports are built on public land, funded by taxpayer UDF levies, and a 50-year lock-in means no government for the next half-century can reverse this. Zero open competitive audit, zero parliamentary vote, zero fare-protection clause in the public domain.
This isn't privatisation, it's a permanent transfer of sovereign infrastructure to a single conglomerate with documented proximity to the ruling party.
When one group controls the runway, the terminal, AND the aircraft; who exactly is the "market" competing for the Indian passenger?
BIG BREAKING | देश के 11 एयरपोर्ट 50 साल के लिए निजी हाथों में देने की तैयारी!
वाराणसी, अमृतसर, रायपुर समेत 11 हवाई अड्डों के निजीकरण की तैयारी, दिसंबर तक शुरू हो सकती है बोली प्रक्रिया
नई दिल्ली। केंद्र सरकार देश के 11 हवाई अड्डों का संचालन निजी कंपनियों को सौंपने की तैयारी कर रही है। प्रस्ताव के मुताबिक इन एयरपोर्ट को पब्लिक-प्राइवेट पार्टनरशिप (PPP) मॉडल पर 50 साल की लीज़ पर दिया जाएगा।
इस बार निजीकरण की प्रक्रिया में बड़े और छोटे एयरपोर्ट को एक साथ जोड़कर पांच बंडल बनाए गए हैं। हर बंडल के लिए एक कंपनी को जिम्मेदारी देने की योजना है।
प्रस्तावित पांच बंडल:
1. अमृतसर और कांगड़ा-गग्गल
2. वाराणसी, गया और कुशीनगर
3. भुवनेश्वर और हुबली
4. रायपुर और औरंगाबाद

सरकारला ही डॉक्युमेंट्री समाजमाध्यमांवरून गायब करायची आहे. याचं कारण काय असेल ते तुम्हाला ही डॉक्युमेंट्री बघितल्यावर कळेलच. त्यामुळे सरकारने ही डॉक्युमेंट्री गायब करायच्या आधी बघून घ्या !
We learn everything about India’s energy policy through our new viceroy! Thank you sir!
Honored to join @SecRubio at @RIL_Updates Jamnagar facilities. Over the past year, India’s imports of U.S. LPG have surged from under 10% to 67%, making the United States India’s largest LPG supplier. Reliance’s planned investment in the first new U.S. oil refinery in 50 years is another major opportunity to expand American energy production and create jobs.

Who is Mohan Bhagwat to lecture the nation?
Head of an unregistered, amorphous organisation that answers to no law, no accountability, and no Constitution.
Yet @RajatSharmaLive presents him as the conscience-keeper of India.
This is the same Bhagwat who stays silent when citizens are lynched, silent on SIR irregularities that disenfranchise millions, silent on the systematic othering of minorities, and silent as democratic institutions are hollowed out.
Forked tongue. Selective morality. Zero legitimacy.
RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has warned those who are talking about regime change through public unrest.
He said, democracy in India has strong roots; neither did regime change happen in the past nor will it happen in future.
Bhagwat said, those who do not agree with the conspiracy for regime change should look at what is happening in France, Italy and Albania.
The RSS chief’s message is clear : both the RSS and BJP are on the same page as far as anti-Modi protests are concerned.
Bhagwat lashed out at Prashant Bhushan’s ‘regime change’ remark and Neha Bora’s call for a Bangladesh-type revolt.
He is quite clear that the agitation against CEC is only a façade and the real aim is to unseat Narendra Modi.
Modi's opponents are going to find Mohan Bhagwat's another comment hard to swallow.
Bhagwat said, the RSS, through its vast network, contacted nearly 10 crore families across India, organized 'yuva sammelans', and directly contacted more than 3.9 million youths.
All anti-Modi political parties, left outfits and so-called civil society people combined do not have the strength to match the RSS even one per cent, as far as direct contact is concerned.

#HardeepPuri is on record he never met paedophile and #Trump best friend, #JeffreyEpstein one on one, only as part of a delegation.

Wow, the $100,000 bribe for Kimberly Guilfoyle looks like child’s play! Alina Habba was paid $50 million for a pardon, AND it worked! This whole regime operates more like the mafia than a federal government!
