Claim: Former Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee's quote which shows he is against privatization of the government assets.
Fact-check: Atal Bihari Vajpayee never made this purported statement about Privatization - FACTLY
Verdict: in july 2020, the indian railways invited a 'request for qualification' ' for private participation for passenger train operations on 109 pairs of routes. the private entity shall pay fixed haulage and energy charges to the indian railways and provide a share in the gross revenue. in may 2022, railway minister ashwini vaishnaw ruled out the privatization of railways. as far as the quote attributed to atal bihar vajpayee in the post, we did not find any credible source to prove that he made that statement. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
