Sonia opposes privatizing of rail production factories

UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday accused the Modi government of planning to privatize six rail production units, saying this is a "first attempt" to hand over the country's priceless assets to private hands cheaply leaving thousands unemployed.

Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi said these included Rae Bareli's Modern Coach Factory. She said the move was against the objectives for which the plant had been set up.
