LDF govt. betrayed labour interests: BMS
Former national president of Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) C.K. Saji Narayanan said here on Saturday that the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government in the State was betraying the labour interests in its zest to cling on to power.
Inaugurating the 20th BMS State conference here, Mr. Narayanan said that the decadence of the Left had reached its pinnacle. “Deng Xiaoping adopted the market economy in Communist China. Buddhadeb Bhattacharya chose the capital economy in West Bengal in 2007. Then they deprived the farmers from their land using the police for Tata in Singur and Nandigram,” he said.
He accused the State government of denying welfare pension for the people. “There is no pension and salary for the workers in Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. Still the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) is justifying the government,” he said.
BMS State president C. Unnikrishnan Unnithan presided over the function. Former State presidents K. Ramkumar and M.S. Karunakaran, former State general secretary N.M. Sukumaran, former organising secretary K. Gangadharan were felicitated at the function.
Two books penned by Mr. Unnithan titled India Trade Union Charitram and BMS Nilapadukalum Avasyangalum were released at the function.
Organising committee chairperson T. Indira, BMS national secretaries Ramnath Ganesh and V. Radhakrishnan, and others spoke. General convener C. Balachandran welcomed the gathering. P. Muraleedharan proposed a vote of thanks.
