Hyderabad: TRS Karmika Vibhagam (TRSKV), the labour wing of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi on Sunday extended its complete support to the nation-wide strike scheduled on March 28 and 29 by all the trade unions opposing privatisation of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) by the union government. Telangana State Planning Board vice-chairman B Vinod Kumar said the party will expose the privatisation conspiracies and anti-people policies of the union government.

Speaking at a preparatory meeting organised by all the trade unions on Sunday, Vinod Kumar said the Central government was conspiring to privatise the profit-making PSUs like the Railways, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), the banks and petroleum companies, which should be opposed by all. He pointed out that no private company could surpass the achievements of the LIC and the petroleum companies which have won people’s trust.
