The Left parties considered the letter sent by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance, in response to the letter of the Left parties of 26th June 2005. Mrs. Gandhi’s letter has conveyed the government’s decision not to proceed with the disinvestment of shares in the Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL).
