The Congress questioned BJP led Centre on Saturday after corporate group, Dalmia Bharat adopted the Red Fort for five years at a cost of Rs. 25 crore. The Opposition alleged the government was 'privatizing' India's heritage and asked about the next monument which would be made a private entity. The Dalmia Bharat Limited signed an MoU with the Tourism department, earlier this week.
