State Government can generate job opportunities from the State assets provided it (Govt) is interested to do so, any move to outsource the State assets will certainly be not good for the State and it would put the state to a great loss”, he maintained. He asked the State Government not to even think of outsourcing State assets as it will have serious repercussions in future.
