NBK-Dravid Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 So who Funded the Sardar Patel statue? Here is a list of (mostly) public sector companies that "voluntarily" paid for it out of their CSR funds .....Indian Oil Corporation - 900 crores .....ONGC - 500 crores .....Bharat Petroleum - 250 crores .....Oil India Corporation - 250 crores .....Gas Authority of India Limited - 250 crores .....Power Grid 125 crores .....Gujarat Minerals Development Corporation 100 crores .....Engineers India - 50 crores .....Petronet India - 50 crores .....Balmer Laurie - 50 crores Please note there is no Anil Ambani, Mukesh Ambani, Gautam Adani, Baba Ramdev company funding this statue! Most of the funders are Oil sector PSUs......When India is literally crying for reduction in Oil prices.....This is how our Oil sector PSUs are made to splurge their money! Modiji don't you have an iota of shame left to build stupid statues from Corporate "Social Resonsibility" funding! In case, your party was so interested....why did you not ask any of your cronies to do the honours? After all...whose money is this? India is not your personal fiefdom! This is our money.....taxpayer money! India.....how long will you be quiet!

swarnandhra Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 3000 crores on one statue (does not matter whose it was) is clear indication of lack of priorities. I wish this idiot goes in the history same like Mayavati who did nothing but erecting statues all around the state in her tenure as CM of UP.
