FNTO and BTEU(BSNL)with 2.2% votes will get certain limited trade union facilities.
BSNLEU got its percentage of votes increased from 46.57% in the last verification to 48.6% this time. It won in ALTTC, Haryana, Punjab, Chennai, Gujarat etc. where it failed in the last verification and increased its voting % in almost all the circles. If the % is calculated on the polled votes as is the case in all elections, it will be 51.45%, more than 50% of the polled votes. It is a great victory. The council seats will be calculated on the % of votes received by BSNLEU and NFTE.
I congratulate all the comrades who have made all efforts in support of BSNLEU and thank them. I also greet our alliance partners in United Forum who made this great victory.
