"If import of coal is a cause for concern for the government, why not allow Coal India to increase production? The PPP is a conspiracy by the government to privatise Coal India," CITU national general secretary Tapen Sen, who is here to attend the state convention of the CITU's Jharkhand unit, told reporters.
Alleging that the budget proposals presented yesterday were "nothing but a fraud and deception upon the people", the Rajya Sabha member said, CITU will step up agitations against any move towards privatisation of public sectors.
