Hassan: MLA U T Khader has lambasted the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central Government for privatizing government-owned companies.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, February 8, he said, “In order to quash the reservation policy granted by the Indian Constitution, the Centre has decided to privatize government-owned companies like LIC, BPCL, BMIL and others. Is selling the shares of government-owned companies to private firms a sign of ‘patriotism’?

Giving a call to all the youth of the country, UTK said, “These matters must be taken up seriously by the youth.
