WARSAW (Reuters) - Party allies of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk are trying to water down a hotly-contested plan to transfer a chunk of assets from private pension funds to the state, sources involved in the discussions told Reuters.

The planned reform would allow the government to offset public debt and give it more scope to borrow and spend, helping to pull the economy out of a downturn in time for a series of elections starting next year.
