Members in the Lok Sabha came down heavily on BSNL for "poor"
services across the country as the government defended the telecom
operator, saying it has been suffering since the days of UPA government.
Discussing the BSNL services in various parts of the country, BJP member Sanjay Dhotre wondered whether some of the BSNL employees were working for private operators as they were "not interested" improving its own services, thus helping private companies to expand their networks.
This invited applause from the opposition benches during the Question Hour, leading Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad to say that the health of BSNL had deteriorated since the days of Congress-led UPA regime.
Prasad said the government-run telecom operator had once made profits of Rs 10,000 crore but was now incurring losses to the tune of Rs 8,000 crore.
He also refuted members' suggestions that some BSNL employees were helping the private telecom operators by providing "poor" services to its own subscribers. - PTI
