Chandigarh, 7th, April.

The General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee and former Union Minister, Kumari Selja said that the BJP-led state government has already prepared to close both central workshops of Haryana Roadways. Meanwhile, a conspiracy to close Haryana Roadways Engineering Corporation (HREC) Gurugram has been underway for a long time. The state government's aim is to privatize transportation services at every level in order to issue permits for buses to private entities instead of state-run services.

In a statement released to the media, Kumari Selja said that bus bodies were manufactured at HREC Gurugram. Bodies were not only made for Haryana Roadways but also for buses of other states by their respective governments. The name and work of HREC were so prominent that there used to be a waiting period to get bus bodies manufactured here. Work orders were being issued throughout the year. However, the BJP government has started its own moves to shut it down. The former Union Minister said that it would be unfortunate for the state, which instead of getting bus bodies for Haryana Roadways made at its own workshop, has started getting them made by private companies. Roadways employees and unions often point out the shortcomings of these buses. However, despite this, the BJP government has not opened its eyes, and now efforts are underway again to get bodies of new buses manufactured by private companies. Kumari Selja said that there are central workshops of Haryana Roadways in Karnal and Hisar districts. These workshops carry out tasks such as engine maintenance, pump work, tire retreading, etc. The skill and quality of work in both workshops are good and better than private companies. However, a committee has been formed to review their work with the intention of closing these workshops, so that a decree to close them can be issued based on its report. The former Union Minister said that there have been many instances before where private individuals were being given route permits. The policy has been changed to favor private partnerships. Looking at all these activities in the transportation department, it can be estimated that privatization may happen anytime. Initially, private participation is being increased so that losses can be shown. After that, based on these losses, they will be closed permanently. It is clear from the policies and intentions of the BJP government that an attempt is being made to privatize every department of the country. The public is completely fed up with the BJP's style of functioning, and the BJP will have to pay the price for it in the upcoming elections.
