Publicity mischief - credit of launching Swadeshi 4G Technology hijacked by jio and Airtel.

It is a known fact that, only BSNL was utilised by the government of India for the launching it's Swadeshi 4G Technology project. BSNL has undergone severe financial constraints and also service related problems, due to the launching of unproven Swadeshi 4G Technology in BSNL,  with the equipments supplied by the TCS. This is in fact a great sacrifice and contribution by BSNL for the perfection of Swadeshi 4G Technology. Private companies like  Jio or Airtel have got absolutely no role in this. However,  to mark the power of 4G Swadeshi Technology, an advertisement has appeared in a Gujarati newspaper. In that advertisement, BSNL's name is not at all mentioned. Only the names of Jio and Airtel are mentioned. This is nothing but publicity mischief and hijacking of the contributions made by BSNL in the perfection of Swadeshi 4G Technology. BSNLEU strongly condemns this publicity mischief.
