BJP vs Congress Over Decision To Allocate Satellite Spectrum Administratively | Read

Congress MP Jairam Ramesh attacked the Centre over its decision to assign spectrum for satellite-based communications administratively, drawing a sharp retort from Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
In a post on X, Mr Ramesh on Monday shared a question asked by his party colleague Viriato Fernandes in the Lok Sabha as to whether the government's decision to allocate satellite spectrum through administrative means rather than auctioning it is meant to facilitate the entry of billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink into the Indian market. Mr Musk had criticized the auction route and praised the government's decision to allocate the spectrum administratively.
