I have been regularly attending the Circle Conferences of BSNLEU Kerala Circle. I think I have attended almost all the Circle Conferences of NFPTE, E.III and BSNLEU organised in Kerala since 1961, when the Kerala Circle Union was formed. It has always been a pleasure to attend Kerala Conferences, not only because it is my home circle, but also because of the systemic conduct of the conferences. Our comrades all over India has seen how magnificiently Kerala conducted the AIC of BSNLEU last year in Thiruvananthapuram.
The present conference is at Kannur, the northern most district of Kerala. The trade unions and progressive forces are strong here. It is the place of Coms AKG and E.K.Nayanar, beloved leaders of the working class. Com.N.P.Padmanabhan, the veteran P and T leader of Kerala also belonged here. In fact, I also belong to this district, though I shifted to Kozhikode District later.
This time I may not be able to be in the Conference all the three days. Due to some personal difficulties, I have to urgently return to Delhi.
My hearty greetings to the Kerala Conference.
