BJP govt conspiring to end reservation by privatising institutions: Akhilesh

LUCKNOW: Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday accused the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government of conspiring to end jobs and reservation by privatizing government institutions in the state.

The former chief minister claimed that the state government is hell-bent on privatising two power distribution companies – Purvanchal and Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd.

“Earlier the BJP government at the Center handed over many government institutions to private hands. Now, following the same path, the BJP government of Uttar Pradesh is also promoting privatization,” Yadav said.
