Privatization of government organizations

[aninditasen]

The ruling government of India are out and out trying to privatize government run organizations like the railways and nationalized banks and some PSUs.
The Rourkela Steel plant employees are fearing that the plant may one day be sold to the private " Adani group of companies " as the government has already handed over the maintenance of Steel township to the " Adani Company ".
If every government organization is privatized why should the ministers stay? Drawing lakhs of salary and crores being spend on their fringe benefits.

Honestly, I completely understand the frustration behind this post. Privatization, when done without transparency or accountability, feels like selling off the country piece by piece to a handful of corporate giants. The fear of employees at places like Rourkela Steel is justified — when maintenance and contracts slowly shift to private hands, it’s often the first step toward a full sale. What worries me most is that the common worker, who has dedicated decades to these institutions, is the one who suffers, while ministers and bureaucrats continue to draw huge salaries and enjoy perks funded by taxpayers. If the government keeps handing everything over to private conglomerates like Adani, then what’s left for the people? Public services shouldn’t become playgrounds for the rich. True reform means efficiency and accountability, not favoritism and crony capitalism disguised as “modernization.”

That's what the present Prime Minister is doing. Selling most government properties and organizations to rich business men mostly from Gujarat.
