The Centre of India Trade Union (CITU) held a round table conference on the role of the working class in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections and warned that it would be crucial for the future of the workers.
The event held in the city on Friday noted that the BJP government was not only “communal” but “pro-corporate” and the various policies and laws introduced by it in the last 10 years was inimical to the progress and well-being of the working class.
The State president of CITU S. Varalakshmi, said that the country is in the middle of a 7 phase election during which the government is indifferent to the plight of the commoners. While Karnataka was in the grip of an unprecedented drought, there was drinking water scarcity and fodder shortage for animals amidst which the democratic exercise of elections were being held.
