New Delhi, December 03: The gas row between the Ambani brothers had its echo in the Lok Sabha today with Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav making a strong plea for gas from Reliance at cheaper rates for state-owned NTPC, a plea also being used by the Anil Ambani group.
Yadav regretted that Petroleum Minister Murli Deora has given an affidavit in the Supreme Court, saying it went against the interests of the NTPC as also against the assurance made in the House by its leader Pranab Mukherjee.
“NTPC will be losing thousands of crores. It is a navaratna company, it is one of the good companies in the world which needs to be saved,” the SP chief said at a time when a high-voltage corporate battle is being fought in the apex court.
