Central government is running a scam in the name of developing airports in a PPP model. Congress on Tuesday attacked government in Parliament alleging this on Aircraft (amendment) bill 2020. Adani group has won bids to operate and develop 6 airports. There’s clear violation of norms in giving airports to a single private entity. The government ignored advice of some of its own ministries and departments. Changes in the norms were enabled for Adani Group to win all 6 bids, said congress. Meanwhile Adani group bagged contract of 6 airports in February. Now, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has recommended the Centre to privatise airports at Amritsar, Varanasi, Bhubaneswar, Indore, Raipur and Trichy as well.
