Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he doesn't agree with rampant privatisation of government assets and that the party would not allow the privatisation of public sector units (PSUs) if and when voted to power.
The former AICC president, interacting with around 1,800 youth from all over Karnataka on unemployment as part of the Bharat Jodo Yatra led by him, said his party upon coming to power would put in a strategy both at the national and State-levels to ensure jobs for youngsters.
He later tweeted attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of unemployment stating: "PM's priorities are clear: It's not 2 crore jobs per year but 'PM ka PR & PM ke 2 Yaar'." "I don't agree with the rampant privatisation of government assets and if we are in power we will not allow the rampant privatisation of public sector units," Rahul Gandhi said during the interaction.
He said public sector units give the weaker sections jobs.
