INTTUC Rallies Tea Workers, Accuses Centre of Apathy
A workers' union called INTTUC is speaking out against the central government, claiming they're not helping tea workers enough.
They say workers in four tea gardens aren't getting paid regularly, and their retirement money isn't being saved properly.
The union is using this to put pressure on the BJP party, especially as elections are coming up.
They feel the BJP only cares about the workers for their votes, not their well-being.
INTTUC organized a convention for workers of four Andrew Yule & Company tea estates.
The union criticized the central government for alleged apathy towards the workers.
Irregular wage payments and non-deposit of provident funds are key concerns.
TMC and Inttuc are using the issue to pressure the BJP ahead of elections.
BJP is accused of treating tea workers as a votebank.
