There is a thin line between favouring crony capitalists and ignoring general public and working exclusively for your cronies.

Exclusively is what both republicans and BJP are experts at doing.

Indian economy is screwed and yet Ambani is getting richer day by day. Adani recently took 74% stake in Mumbai airport

All govt companies are now bankrupt because BJP wants to favour their cronies. BSNL is on the verge of collapse because BJP considers Jio as the "official govt telecom company"

> All govt companies are now bankrupt

This is categorically false. There are several PSUs that are profitable. From a cursory Google search: https://www.fortuneindia.com/psu?year=2019

Maybe go easy on the exaggeration.

> BSNL is on the verge of collapse because BJP considers Jio as the "official govt telecom company"

BSNL had it coming with years of mismanagement, high employee costs and inability to upgrade infrastructure. Though, you could certainly argue competition from Jio accelerated it with its predatory pricing.

BSNL's downfall has nothing to do with Jio's aggressive policies which violated the law but the law was twisted so that Jio can carry on.

BSNL was systematically destroyed by Modi govt to favour Jio.

If BSNL was mismanaged for years then why did it collapse only when Govt moved all official contracts to Jio rather than BSNL?

WHY is Modi govt not giving money to BSNL? almost all Pune office of BSNL has taken voluntery retirement. All of them went away in poof one week they filled people by hiring daily contractors

If you don't believe that BSNL was systematically destroyed then I have a bridge to sell you.

Maybe don't go easy on being ignorant on facts. Maybe read news.

BSNL has been a loss making business since 2010. It's literally in their financial statements. Read it: https://www.bsnl.co.in/opencms/bsnl/BSNL/about_us/financial_....

> WHY is Modi govt not giving money to BSNL?

Last I checked they announced a Rs 74,000 crore bailout package by way of BSNL-MTNL merger. I don't know what the status of that is, but that doesn't sound like "not giving money to BSNL".

[thewhitetulip]

BSNL was making loss for years

Then Modi should've put in more money in BSNL

But BJP did not do that did they?

It seems like you're pretending to be neutral while spreading false information by twisting facts.

74,000 package announced?

Well the BJP govt has announced a LOT of things over the last six years.

BJP CM promised 25k crore to Kalyan Dombivli Municipality. KDM got 0 Rs from BJP

I can't even remember a single month in Modi's first term when he wasnt announcing oackage

Thousands of crore to JK

To Bihar

To Jharkhand

Anywhere BNP was desperate to win elections they threw bubbles of 10000000crore package so that their troll armies can refer to the announcement

If I had a penny for everytime BJP announced a package for anything then I'd be a billionaire

> It seems like you're pretending to be neutral while spreading false information by twisting facts.

Er, where is the false information? The bailout package announcement is real. Delloite are the contracted consultants for making the BSNL-MTNL merger happen. As I said, I have no idea what the status is. If the execution is botched (and this government has a history of poor execution), feel free to criticize. But it seems like you are making false claims throughout this thread (no sources for anything), only to then shift goalposts when you're proven wrong with sources.

> so that their troll armies can refer to the announcement

Please keep this kind of rhetoric out of HN and discuss in good faith. This isn't Reddit.

[thewhitetulip]

You're twisting everything to suit your narrative.

> Where is the false information

You're pretending as if Modi govt did not intentionally bankrupt BSNL.

Your so called.package is bogus. ET calls it "lacks teeth"

How BJP is dismantling BSNL

https://www.newsclick.in/how-centre-dismantling-bsnl

So both the package is fraud and BJP intentionally dismantled BJP to favour Jio

And here you're pretending that BSNL's downfall was inevitable. They pushed BSNL into a ditch and now they're not helping it come out of the ditch

It took me a second to google "BJP announced package but didn't give" first result?

And this wasn't the only result.

18months on but 125k crore package was not received by Bihar

https://m.hindustantimes.com/india-news/18-months-on-bihar-y...

Also the 20.lakh crore for corona is also a fraud

https://www.indiatoday.in/news-analysis/story/covid-19-packa...

Fitch Solutions said the actual fresh money in the Covid-19 package is only about 1% of GDP

Modi declared that package was 10% of GDP. But actual money given by him was only 1%

They included "income tax refunds" in this package, also "Selling ISRO" was a part of the package under "privatising space travel"

The actual money given my BJP was negligible compared to other countries

You'd do better to follow your own advice and stop your malicious intent.
