No plan of strategic sale in BSNL, MTNL says Niti Aayog

NEW DELHI: Government of India’s think-tank Niti Aayog has rejected media report saying that the Narendra Modi government was considering strategic sale in the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL)to revive its growth.

“A section of the press has carried a news report that Niti Aayog may consider strategic sale in BSNL and MTNL,” said Niti Aayog  in a statement.

“There is no such proposal with Niti Aayog and the report is factually incorrect,” it added.
