    Public schools, hospitals, BSNL, ports and airports have been privatised.

    Some asset cases are not a blanket privatisation of public services.

    Prayagraj rally · 8 August 2026, 8 Aug 2026

    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.
