Summary:
Kochi, Sep 16 (PTI) Eleven years after he put moratorium on Bt Brinjal, former Union Environment Minister and Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh on Thursday said what he did in 2010 was right because succeeding governments have not changed that policy.
The senior Congress leader said even Prime Minister Narendra Modi who changed many policies of the previous UPA government has not touched the decision he had taken as Environment Minister in 2010 to put moratorium on Bt Brinjal.
"I introduced this moratorium in February 2010.
Eleven years have passed.
Seven years, Narendra Modi has been the Prime Minister.
He has changed many policies of the previous government but this one policy, he has not changed," Ramesh said during an interaction with audience after delivering a talk on "India Forward-a socio political perspective" virtually organised by Cochin Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
