Govt acting in interest of investors, not workers: CPM

Commenting on the BJP-led government’s ‘Shramev Jayate’ programme, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) said the programme does not mean much for the working class and the government will continue to serve the interests of investors in the name of labour reforms.

“Shramev Jayate Karyakram, inaugurated by the PM with much fanfare, means nothing much to the working people in the country,” a statement by the CPM said.

Claiming that the Modi-led government was “acting in the interests of investors,” the party said it is “condemnable that changes in labour laws and other moves, which affect the workers, are being implemented without even discussions with the trade unions.”
