Demands of clerks, Aanganbadi workers genuine: Jogi

Raipur, January 21, 2013

Senior Congress MLA Ajit Jogi on Monday said that the demands of grade-III employees and Aanganbadi workers were genuine and the government should put a heedful ear towards them.

He said while the works in government departments were not progressing due to striking grade-III employees, health services in rural sector got paralysed because of Aanganbadi workers dharna.

“The government has incurred revenue loss of over Rs 500 crore due to striking employees. The clerical staffers have requested the government to consider over their demands several times in the past, but in vain,” he said.

Further condemning naxal attack on Indian Air Force’s (IAF) helicopter, he said the ruling party had completely failed in discharging its responsibility. 

“It simply rubs its hands by giving tribute to martyr jawans. The BJP government has failed to maintain law and order in the state. It is also not supporting the Centre in dealing the Maoists’ issue. This has resulted in increased naxal attacks on base camps of paramilitary forces,” Jogi said.

He alleged that the ruling party did not want to solve the naxal problem because it aimed to take political benefit of the socio-economic problem during upcoming assembly polls.

He demanded unconditional release of NSUI activists who were recently arrested by the police under various sections of Indian Penal Code (ICP) while they were proceeding towards Rajbhavan in the form of a rally to give memorandum to Governor pertaining to Kanker rape incident.

Jogi said the government first adopted fascistic attitude and lathicharged on peaceful rally of the NSUI workers.

He appealed to the NSUI members to take pledge to dethrone the BJP government.
