Calling for concerted efforts to save VSP from 100 percent disinvestment as asserted by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Parliament, the MLA mentioned that all the MPs and MLAs should come forward to submit their resignation letters to mount pressure on the Centre. "Tendering resignation should not be considered the last resort. Apparently, it is the only way to mount pressure on the Union government," he reiterated.
