Opposing disinvestment of Public Sector Undertakings, West Bengal Chief
Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said it was not a permanent
solution and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to consult experts and,
if need be, call an all-party meeting on the issue.
"Disinvesting
the public sector and using the money to manage the immediate crisis is
not a permanent and the only solution. You need economic stability for a
permanent solution, because otherwise the economic disaster will only
intensify," Banerjee told media in Bahrampur of Murshidabad district.
She
suggested the central government should hold consultations on the issue
and consider everybody's opinion in the "positive sense".
"I
think the prime minister should speak to experts in the country on this
issue. If need be there should be an all party meeting, the Trinamool
Congress supremo said.
Banerjee's remarks came a day after the
cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved strategic
disinvestment in five large public sector undertakings (PSU) -- BPCL,
CONCOR, SCI, THDC and NEEPCO -- along with change in management control
in these companies.
