Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Kamal Nath on Friday pulled up the State’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government over the non-payment of salaries to anganwadi workers for about three months.
Taking to social media platform X, Mr. Nath said that the government was “depriving” these frontline social workers of their basic rights by not paying their salaries.
“More than 60,000 anganwadi workers and assistants working in 35 districts of the State have not received honorarium for the last three months. On the one hand, the Central government is talking big about anganwadi workers and assistants in the Budget, while on the other hand, it is depriving them of their basic rights in Madhya Pradesh,” Mr. Nath wrote.
