Prime Minister Modi’s Swatch Bharat Abhiyan has not touched his own constituency Varanasi. It ranks 418 in cleanliness out of 476 cities in the country. This is as per the latest sanitation ranking by the Urban Development Ministry.

Shocked and ridiculed by this humiliating situation the government is reported to be moving fast to clean the city. We have to see whether the words and action match.

By the way, Varanasi, the PM’s constituency is also the SSA in BSNL where not even one fourth of the govt. fixed minimum wage is  paid to the contract labour in BSNL. We brought it to the notice of the Prime Minister, through a letter, but we are yet to find the results. 

Whether words of PM and action of the government match? Let us wait and see!

BSNL Casual and Contract Workers Federation has addressed a letter to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi informing him about the wage slavery of the BSNL Contract Workers in UP and especially in Varanasi, the constituency from which he has been elected. Only Rs. 1500 – 3000 are paid where as they are eligible at least about Rs. 7,000/- at the lowest. BSNLCCWF has requested the PM to look in to the matter and ensure implementation of minimum wage, EPF, ESI etc.

Will the Prime Minister or his Office have time to mete out justice to the hard working casual contract workers?
