What is actually true
Most public schools and hospitals were not privatised. Listing five systems as already sold is false.
- Government and aided schools remain the large majority of school enrolment in UDISE+ and Ministry of Education data. They were not privatised as a system.
- Public hospitals under state and Union health departments still operate. They were not sold as a bloc.
- BSNL remains a public-sector telecom company. Listing it as already privatised is false.
- Some ports and airports have seen private operation or PPP. That is not the same official fact as “ports and airports have been privatised” as a completed national sale, and it does not carry schools and hospitals with them.
Some asset cases are not a blanket privatisation of public services.
