EDITORIAL POSTAL CRUSADER JUNE-2015
ONE YEAR OF MODI GOVERNMENT
DISAPPOINTING TO WORKING CLASS
Modi Government has completed ONE YEAR. Within this one year. No
remarkable change or development is being seen. So many populous slogans and
promises during election campaign and thereafter coming in power were made and
people of India were hypnotized and got their Votes and formed the government
with full majority and this happened after 30 years when a single party came in
power with full fledged majority. Working class in general and salaried class
in particular was very hopeful for “ACHCHHE DIN” (Good Days) and they were expecting D.A. merger, Interim Relief and raising in income
tax exemption limit. But Government denied everything instead of giving any
relief to the working class, all round
attacks were started in several
forms in the shape of Labour Laws
amendments, attack on wages and lively hood of working class who create wealth
for the nation and ban on recruitment in Central Government Services for one
year, attack on social security rights
doing away with the employees provident fund scheme and diverting a part of
fund for speculation in share market doing away with ESI converting the same in
to an insurance scheme under IRDA Drastic cut on social sector expenditure and allocation on
welfare schemes like ICDS, Mid Day Meal, NHRM, MNREGA with the Motive of
finally doing away with such pro-people schemes
and programmes altogether.
A vigorous campaign has been
launched to change the labour laws like Industrial Dispute Act 1947,
Factories Act, Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition Act) and all wages
related legislations etc, in favour of employers with the object to throw away
the Working Class of country out of
purview of protection under the labour laws and Completely dismantling entire labour law enforcement machinery,
Never before the Working Class has
faced such a situation. This is the working class who create GDP to Nation and
profits to employers.
In Central Government Sector also
these attacks are being intensified. 100% FDI has been declared in Railway and
49% in Defence Production paving way for capitalists/corporates to enter in to
these sectors. Disinvestment has been started in profit making public sectors
like NTPC, NHPC, Coal India etc. and planning to disinvest all profit making
sectors.
In Postal Department also there is
danger of corporatization and privatization if the recommendations of Task Force Committee headed
by Shri T.S.R. Subramanian are implemented. Though at present on account of stiff
resistance by PJCA (NFPE/FNPO) the recommendations have not been implemented
but these have also not been rejected by the Department of Posts and may be
introduced at any time after changing the forms so we have to keep a vigilant
watch over this.
Contrary to this all schemes and
planning’s are being made to give
benefits to Corporates /Capitalists by way of promulgating ordinances
for decentralization of Coal mining
sector, de-regularization of other Mineral resources through auction route totally being
unconcerned about the lively hood of
local and tribal peoples and forest dwellers.
The peasantry and agriculture
workers are also worst suffers due to the policies of Modi Government. The
prices of seeds, fertilizers, power, diesel, Water for irrigation have been
increased many folds but the MSP of Wheat and rice has been increased by
Rs.50/- per quintal only. The land of farmers will be snatched away without
their consent in favour of capitalists and if the present amended land
acquisition act is implemented
So based on the above facts, it is crystal clear that the policies of present Modi
Government are totally in favour of Capitalists/Corporates and against
the interests of Working Class . The hope of “ACHCHHE DIN” (Good Days) is now
diminished and working class and common man of this country is disappointed.
