Assembly polls: Leaflet seeks answers from BJP in Assam tea gardens
The Hindu
Has the BJP given you Scheduled Tribe (ST) status? Have you received a daily wage of ₹351.33? Did you get land ‘patta’ (record of rights)?
These are the first three of 11 questions tea plantation workers — men and women — are being armed with across eastern Assam. The questionnaire, claims the All Assam Adivasi Students’ Association (AAASA), is apolitical although the BJP is mentioned in each query. The AAASA had organised its 18th annual Mahasabha at Halem tea estate in north-eastern Assam’s Biswanath district from March 12-14. An elaborate discussion on the issues that matter most for the plantation workers led to printing the questionnaire.More Related News
