Sitharaman says IDBI Bank was 'handed over in poor shape', hits back at Rahul

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman rebutted Rahul Gandhi's opposition to selling IDBI Bank to Canada's Fairfax, saying the lender was in poor shape when the NDA took over because it was pushed to lend to groups such as Videocon, ABG Shipyard and Kingfisher. She said the government revived it with over ₹25,000 crore in recapitalisation. Gandhi said Congress built banks while Modi sells them.
