Union Budget jugglery of figures :CITU

Terming union budget presented by the Central Government  pro-capitalist and anti-labour state Committee of CITU stated that this budget is just jugglery of figures and for the general public it is like putting cumin in the camel’s mouth.  CITU State President Vijender Mehra and General Secretary Prem Gautam have said that this budget is going to accelerate the pace of privatization without breaking away from neoliberal policies and government so called reform.  This will only benefit the capitalists and in view of the inflation, the condition of the laborers would worsen further.  In this budget, the door has been opened for open sale of all public sector undertakings including banks, insurance, telecom, rail, airport, energy, traffic, transport.  The budget has only done the work of hollowing out the service sector.  There is nothing special in the interest of laborers and employees in this budget.  The budget has ignored the laborers’ demand for minimum wage of Rs.26,000 as recommended by the Indian Labor Conference and the honorable Supreme Court.  There is nothing in the budget done by all the planning workers including Anganwadi, Asha, Mid Day Meal, NHM.  Industrial laborers have also got disappointed with this budget as MNREGA and Agriculture  out lay downsized and construction workers have not got anything in the budget.  There is no provision in the budget for permanent, outsourced, contract and all other types of laborers in both organized and unorganized sector.  The budget has also failed to fulfill the dreams of farm labourers.
