Congress parliamentary party chief Sonia Gandhi raised the issue during Zero Hour in Lok Sabha and said privatisation of the factory would render employees jobless.
Only 225 of the 543 Lok Sabha MPs adopted a village in the third phase of the Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana, but Modi govt now wants them to adopt one each year.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury raised the issue in Parliament, and officials admit the Modi govt has used ‘unwritten’ bans as a penalising measure.
IAS officers would go to state cadres after training, but Modi govt now deploys them at the Centre for 3 months, which helps with exposure & networking.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.

As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
With due respect, mixed economy is past its expiry date. With globalisation and a fierce emphasis on free trade, with the economic landscape being shaped in a Darwinian manner of evolve or perish, PSUs with guaranteed job for life are unlikely to display the agility required to complete. Without adaptive capacity – primarily breakthrough innovation – the valuation of a PSU would be almost equivalent to the value of INS Viraat. It is not the State’s responsibility to become a source of salaries but for public and merit services.
Adding a note of caution: when Sub-prime crisis erupted it was largely due to the greed of the largest financial COrps in the world, the Goldmans, Citi, Leghbans, etc. But who eventually ended up paying for their misdeeds? The Taxpaying public of America. When the private enterprise is profitable, they all need Free trade and Capitalism. When things go south, they need peoples money to overcome their own issues, they cry out for Socialism. Pretty much the same thing happened with DHFC with UTI MF pumping in cash to avoid a domino effect in the market. Money that was entrusted by people of the land in UTI MFs. I agree that Govt should not be the source of Salaries to the people, but a market with no Govt oversite or control may not be the healthiest as history has shown.
Completely agree. That’s the reason there is so much debate about reforming capitalism; rescuing it from its own inherent weaknesses. Rules based capitalism is required. Robust rules need to be created and non-compliance needs to be punished. Is that possible in India? That’s a separate debate.
Leaders want control over PSU to adjust their near and dear.
State can’t do business. When we opted for open economy then why abusing private sector.
India has benefited from a mixed economy. Why should a PSU be closed unless there are compelling financial reasons?
