Hyderabad: BRS MLC and Telangana Jagruti president K Kavitha on Wednesday said the BJP government at the Centre was pursuing anti-labour policies and repeatedly amending labour laws in favour of corporate companies. Extending full support to the Bharat Bandh called by 10 trade unions, she said the BRS party stood firmly with India’s working class.
Kavitha pointed out that since 2014, the Centre had systematically dismantled workers’ rights and compromised their social security. She said the BJP government was providing all support to investors and industrialists, while ignoring workers’ welfare and rights, citing the recent industrial accident in Hyderabad as a reminder of eroding safety standards.
She cautioned against the Centre’s backdoor reforms in labour laws and demanded for their revoke. “The BRS is strongly opposed to the Centre’s moves that weaken labour protections,” she asserted.
Earlier, Kavitha extended condolences over the death of four people after consuming adulterated toddy in HMT Colony, Hyderabad. She urged the government to extend support to the victims’ families and ensure proper medical care for those affected. She also demanded stern action against those responsible.
