Idea cellular has added 5.98 million new customers and it’s growth rate is 3.14%. Whereas, BSNL has added 11.13 million new customers and it’s growth rate is 11.50%. Reliance Jio has added 87.93 million new customers and it’s growth rate is a stunning 121.86%. It is a matter of pride for all of us that BSNL’s growth rate is far ahead of Airtel, Vodafone and Idea cellular. When all the private telecom companies are wilting under the pressure of Jio, it is only BSNL, which is putting up stiff challenge to it. Let us put in our entire energy to bring BSNL out of loss and make it India’s number one telecom company. CHQ requests all our functionaries to give maximum publicity to this news among the public, through our ongoing Street Corner Meetings.
