Nirmala Sitharaman cites data centre sops, rejects Opposition claims on India data flow, trade deal
New Delhi: The budget proposes to incentivise local data centres, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Wednesday. She rejected Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s allegations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had “sold the country” and allowed free flow of Indian data to the US, among other things, through the upcoming trade deal.
Those who surrendered Indian farmers’ interests at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and favoured a deal with Pakistan at Sharm-el-Sheikh are now lecturing the Modi government on negotiating tactics, she said.
