Thank you for doing an English interview with Mr. Raju Parulekar
I am 76 years old and from Mumbai MTNL has given very good service to people of Mumbai

So? What do you want now? You recieved salary and other benefits as employee of a loss making PSU.
Not all persons getting a salary works well
@@satyendusaha7808Modi deliberately pushed PSU into losses so that it would be easier to sell it to his industrialist friends. Because Modi government cannot sell profit making PSUs.
Why was it loss making..Modi doesn't know how to run@@satyendusaha7808
This is slow death of democracy 😢
True!
Raju is bold and very clear in his expression in saying
Why don’t we challenge this violation of code of conduct in the supreme court ….
Then Modi will sell and privatise Supreme court too😅
@@Gaurav.P0exactly 🤣
Dear Sujit sir, really heartfelt thanks to for such a good discussion with our Raju boy
Raju you are doing a good job. The people of Maharashtra and India must be aware of what this elected government is doing for the benefit of the people.
To give as much as possible to Adani as soon as possible Modi is going to Tihar, ge can feel it
Protest if you can, comment on youtube wont change anything.

Why Didn't the union leaders of BSNL and MTNL take legal action against these sales, when the MCC is in force.
either bought off or scared of going to jail on sedition /uapa
Unions have become non-functional and redundant. They lost their biting power long back. Also Unions don't have any say in major policy decisions of the government, unless it directly affect them.
I have non-working MTNL connections that have been out of service for at least two years. The government has been systematically working to kill MTNL and BSNL. Most staff have quit, exchange buildings wear a deserted look for long. All the exchanges are in prime locations. The sale of this land is a one-time event and will not help revive the companies in my view. The vested interests clearly prevail in this case. MTNL/BSNL assets are principally the exchange buildings. Most of their erstwhile manpower works for Airtel and Jio.
Regarding technology, MTNL/BSNL has the most robust PSTN system in place across the country. But how much of it is maintained and working properly is another guess. Both BSNL/MTNL did not move beyond the 3G mobile technology as the government did not release spectrum. Only recently they are talking of 4G when the private sector has moved on to 5G. Private operators collect what is known as USO from mobile telephony charges which is supposed to fund the loss-making circuits of BSNL/MTNL. Whether these funds are being utilised at all is another saga.
Raju was not at his best today and Sujit chose to be the 'devil's advocate'. The discussion thus resulted in a lacklustre conversation. Areas like defence, basic communication, and core transportation should always be in the hands of any government. The private sector systems are never robust enough to support national needs. It's no secret that many core sector companies have been killed and BSNL/MTNL is no exception. It's sad that no one is talking about it. Not very long ago, MTNL was listed overseas and has foreign investments in it. India is one of the few countries where PSTN services are being systematically killed and mobile technology run by private operators is given full support. While telecommunication penetration is important, national objectives and contingencies should not be compromised. Any public asset not looked after goes into ruin. There is crony capitalism at play and politicians are playing favourites. If that is not anti-national, then what kind of value systems are we following?
they werenot provided latest 4g, 5g technology
No Government, irrespective of party, wanted bsnl and MTNL to continue good health, because it was becoming unmanageable. Their role in influencing tariff surge no longer exist. Otherwise why 4g 5g spectrum not allotted to them ? Security agencies only are interested in their
existence for their requirements.
My husband still use BSNL. Other phones are airtel.
MTNL & BSNL was the prestige of India, built with the hard work of several loyal employees.
But it was a monopoly which means poor service and high tariffs. Thirty years beck I was charged Rs 800 (those days a princely sum) for shifting the landline from one room to the adjoining room on my own 😂
That was govt. policy only, no material, no instruments, how to give service for people, i am one of the sensior staff of MTNL, I love my company & proud also now at home & praying for her🙏🙏
This is parting gift to Ambani's Jio and Adani. I bet these entities will buy them off
It is very strange behavior.
Later they will Sell Govt. Banks too...
May be sell people also
they should sell it. Govt has no business running businesses except for defence.
@SouthCartman-vy7mw Govt. needs to hold banking business in their hands because banks hold public money. People believe in Govt. Agencies rather than private.
@@SouthCartman-vy7mw- ISPs are providing an essential service. Information in today’s world is an essential and integral service.
@@pradeepchowdary548 Not required, only RBI, SEBI etc should be under govt. Banks can insure deposit liquidity for any downside. We have tried this for 70+ years, state banks have underperformed severely.
It's always a pleasure to listen fearless and impartial Raju Parulekar. Thanks Sujit for calling him.
Glad to see Mr.Raju❤
Raju ji is awesome?
More power to you both🙏
You peoples can spread reality, we will support you 🙏
Mr.Raju has all the answers, please let him complete
His conversation.
Kudos to you on your analysis
Mr. Raju is outspoken and true. God bless him.
Why can't go to court against the violation of model code of conduct?
Fantastic chemistry between Raju and Sujit
Superb analysis..super topic. There might be many more such issues
Very interesting and reassuring discussion.
the faint/inward smiles you guys give in those pauses between questions, your laughs and your camaraderie makes these conversations way more interesting to watch!!
Another milestone in selling the country
Thanks Mr Raju n Mr Sudhir for this valuable debate.
Mr. Raju touches the bottomline responsibility of a Govt.'s in respect of Welfare State.
People has to come on roads to defend this, On social media nothing will happen
Selling the country.
Why the care taking government is so hurry to sale the properties.
It appears government's intention is very bad and against the interests of India.
As usual, RP gives it straight on the chin!
All this sounds sooo scary 😦
My god 😢
Day light loot of public assets and giving to crony friends.
ECI is in deep slumber
Govt has no business running telecom companies. They should concentrate on education, healthcare and infrastructure. In India government does all it should not do and does not do what it should do. These PSU have finished India.
Sad state of affairs
Iam from N.E. India and following your programs.The interview with Mr.Raju is interesting.I congratulations to Mr Raju for his honest and unbiased point of view.I'm only worried what will be our country.if Modi & Shah dual come back to power at centre.India will no more be secular democratic country but may be dictoral contry constitution will he distorted to suit their interest.
Thanks
Thank you 🙏
Raju is absolutely right about the whole thing.
Wish to see more episodes like this
Raju fans reporting
Modi is ready to call military to keep the power with him
Don’t be scaremongering 😂
Over 3,300 CISF personnel took over security operations at parliament by replacing CRPF 10 days ago. In an Unusual Move, Govt Extends Army Chief General Pande's Tenure by One Month and now this hurried sale of government property......
In all probability if Modi loses he will forcibly hold on to Power by using the Army if required. Quite scary
Gold from UK. Deported
How a care taker government can sell?
Unfair actions by caretaker govt to which the CEC AND SUPREME COURT IS QUIET
Excellent talk
Very critical and interesting analysis done by Raju on MOD. Deal mein kuch kaala hai
Daily we are seeing a new low in governance and it is unfortunate
If the BSNL and MTNL needs excess fund , they could go for public issue to revive the company
Who eventually allows these kind of deals or who signs the papers and whi will be judged?? When the ball is in the other court?
Truth is bitter.but truth is truth.in several disasters BSNL has done so much service better than private operators
Only in rural areas😂😊
Hon. Raju Parulekar Sir is Always Right., B coz every and each subject hi explain very well. B Coz Hi love india like his home.
Very elaborated debate
Next The ECI should be taken to task and put behind prison
Very important talk
No guarantee that the entire sale proceeds go to MTNL & BSNL as investment to revive them.
I Heartfully call Raju boy❤
Ppl this is how Modi is fooling us
Good Q & A but my only suggestion is to do something about the voice. Sujith is using a good mic and the guest isn't so as a viewer I have to constantly increase and decrease the volume. Welcome back HW news.
One indicator that BSNL is technically sound can be proved by the fact that when the country went into a lock down suddenly, still most operations continued on the backbone of BSNL's network! At that time JIO did not have a network! Solely on the strength of BSNL's capability things happened!
Why is t the MTNL -BSNL Union protest / challenge the decisions in court ! What if there is change in govt will it change the future of these psus
Sujith Sir,
Also discuss the Adani’s low quality coal issue.
Any naked eye can see the stark naked reality in this decision. People are not fools.
This is expected and no wonder in happening such an anti-people initiative under the Modi regime. Modi government is a curse and BJP a menace to the nation. I salute both of you for daring to expose this heinous crime 🤝
AT&T was split into regional Bell companies probably some 30 years ago in US and we are doing just the opposite in India now...
The first and foremost point is isnt it illigal to put up the notice when the results are voming on 4th june? Is modi sensing defeat?
Very nice interview 🎉
On what basis is Mr. Raju Parulekar saying BSNL/MTNL is technologically or opertionally better than the private players? Does he have relevant information to prove the same.
Just like IAS IPS IFS ICS the top officers were ITS and passed the govt exams and were and are highly qualified for there job
Our friend is a retired ITS officer. He is from IIT. He was instrumental for BSNL launching in Kashmir and also telemedicne services for Africa . There are many like that.. government should use them. Most of the public sector companies went loss due to the ego and non cooperation from the staff. IDPL is closed . But Dr. Reddy, one of the employees, became phrama giant , 🎉 you go to SBI and HDFc you see different way of handling clients . The motto should be the customer is the king. Even government hospitals, they have doctors. But nobody bothered about maintaining the building and equipment. We throw garbage all over.
Total public debt has touched 250 lakh crores. Government should raise every rupee possible to reduce it's outstanding loan or debt.
Government should focus on the malpractices in implementing 4G in BSNL,
Jio is after MTNL &
BSNL Land bank.
👌
Have you visited any BSNL office recently. They are ghost buildings. Maybe 5 employees in a Four storeyed building, not counting the resident stray dogs.
I agree with Raju this government is killing the idea of welfare state. But not only this government even previous also are the partners in this crime.
Selling the property for Wealth creation is a foolish idea. If the project will be beneficial, then take some loan and revive the institution. Otherwise, it is just losing the wealth and sign of mismanagement.
Actually we the people of India should ask Mr. Modi and Shah to pay back all that they sold, or are putting for sale which was illegal .......
Is it not already sold?
Few days back I was in gyu post in HO of armed forces and hardly 30 no’s of people were there , only BSNL was there , I was literally amazed , how come u can expect bsnl to be in profit ?
Mr Sujit, please let Mr.Raju speak.
He is giving you more info. To us.
You are being nice to protect your channel from the power.
We have some freedom of speech remaining .
Before planning to sell psus assets, there must be plan of utilisation of that money for more productive, empolyment creation, to be shown to public.
On the other hand, Boston consultancy group roped in to give revival plan for BSNL to compete with pvt sector at whooping fee of Rs 132 crs.
I was posted in a remote village PSU bank at Ratnagiri District , Maharashtra in 2018. There was only BSNL network there that too 3G . During Day time we used suffer a lot while surfing and accessing internet. As we complained BSNL staff they requested us to surf internet after 9 pm midnight till whole morning . We did the same and were shocked to see BSNL 3G download / upload speed was at par with 5G net speed. On asking BSNL staff told their wail on how they were not getting Salary on time , denial of 4G connections , plus not surplus advanced given for maintaining the existing 3G Signal Towers. This Modi Govt wants Ambani Jio to take Whole India Telecom into their family fist. 😢 Sad .
Would like to listen Raju ji
Definitely, all these loss making conglomerate should be disposed off provided doesn't generate corny capitalists and political leaders related specifically of BJP now.
Raju is very positive
Selling government institutions to private bodies is also an indirect way of ending reservations, as provided in the Constitution. Because private institutions are not bound by these acts.
Jio bhava🎉
It may be approved by cabinet in 2019, however it was open only to government departments and PSUs, rushing it through now would attract attention towards the timing and not towards the deviation about sale to private players
Why is the ECI looking on when a caretaker Government is pushing through this? Have the opposition parties, both in the Centre and States moving in?
This is called. Scorched earth policy of destruction of trust assets et all.
It's all about the prime real estate owned by BSNL/MTNL in metro area
Pl increase the volume of Raju's mike as he can hardly be heard whereas Sujit your voice is very loud n clear.
Most of the technical staff retired or taken VRS,Now there is no staff.concrete roads have added misery to it.
Privatisation is not fine.. Where greed has caught up everywhete
Would it necessary for valuation s necessary for any auction nd an essential reserve price, terms for auction process, eligibility etc???
NDA is losing no doubt but peaceful transition of power is our main concern
The process of monetization of BSNL/MTNL surplus assets is in full swing since last year atleast. BSNL could able to garner around 800 crores from this activity last year. It's a continual process. So there is no haste nor violation of code of conduct.
2) Sales are meant for Govt bodies only. Not for pvt players as you are pointing out.
Sir, how many dividend paying companies take recourse to selling or monetizing assets? Is this not different from privatization.?
"India on sale to select cronies" and this deplorable trend would attain greater momentum if - heaven forbid - Modi comes back to power.
