The government's budget day report card had a big F stamped on the disinvestment line on Tuesday by business consultant Sunil Alagh, usually a supporter of the BJP-led government's policies on NDTV.
"Last year's target in disinvestment was Rs. 1.75 lakh crore. What have they done? 8 per cent. Anyone in the private sector would have been sacked for that. No question in my mind," he said, reviewing the process that included last week's Air India handover to the Tata Group.
