India Put on Sale by the ruling regime at the Centre http://mainstreamweekly.net/article11582.html - Press Release from Central Trade Unions - Sept 23, 2021
Commonsense will tell you that the immediate effect of this latest Government move will be price-rise for the common man for all the infrastructural services being leased out to private players. Because the private operators, as per the official NMP document, have been empowered to increase the user/service charges of all those infrastructures and make windfall profit at the cost of common people.
Contrary to the argument by the government, that jobs would be created, thousands of workers will lose their jobs worsening the already alarming unemployment situation. Quality of jobs would further deteriorate. The SC/ ST sections would be among the worst affected, as there is no reservation in jobs in the private sector.
Add to this the Government’s announcement to sell 100 profit making PSUs. This means that the profit flowing into Government coffers will stop and start flowing into private corporate’s coffers.
call for: Countrywide National Protest Day through massive joint demonstration/ agitation/mobilizations at least up to district level on 07th October 2021.
Sukla Sen: Comments:
India on Garage Sale! @rental rate!
The Loot Maar Raj! Now comes by far the largest act of robbery!
Marching towards Atmanirbhar Bharat! (Each ordinary one on one's own. No state support.
The State to support only the Cronies, and the likes, to fleece the ordinary ones.)
While this debate is going on, further advisories went out from the Government to all the Gram Panchayats, to monetize their assets such as common lands, water bodies, common buildings etc. to add to their finances. The diabolic effect this will have on village society can only be guessed.
[The Immediate Effects]
[I. All Round Price Rise]
[II. Massive Loss of Jobs]
[III. Drastic Curtailment in Social Welfare by State]
