Petroleum Minister Murli Deora today asserted that the KG basin gas belongs to the government and not to either of the Ambani brothers, Mukesh and Anil, who have taken the battle to court.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an event here, Deora said he would not like to say much on the dispute over KG gas as the matter is to be heard in the court.
He said he would like to reiterate that "government has so much stake in it. Gas does not belong to either Mukesh or Anil Ambani. Gas belongs to government".
