Union minister rejects speculation on sale of BHEL
A run was organized to mark Sardar Vallbhbhai Patel’s birth anniversary here on Monday. Union Jal Shakti minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat and Haridwar MP Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank also participated in the run. Union Heavy Industries minister Mahendra Nath Pandey attended the programme held on the occasion in BHEL. He rejected speculation on the privatization of BHEL.
Shekhawat said that in this changing scenario, India is moving towards becoming a developed nation at a rapid pace. With the inspiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, youth will give more energy to the pace of development of India. He said that the Namami Gange programme is being executed to keep the Ganga free-flowing and clean. Acharya Balkrishna said that such an event on the banks of the Ganga will encourage the youth and inspire them to avoid addictions.
Meanwhile, Pandey said that there is no substance in speculation about the sale of BHEL. There is no talk of selling a Maharatna company like BHEL even in dreams, he said.
