BMS protests against labour policies of Raj govt

"The BJP government took anti-labour decisions in the name of labour reforms without considering the interests of the labours. The labour class was in the support of the party but when it came to power in the state, decisions against the same class were taken," BMS general secretary Brijesh Upadhyay said.

The trade union's state president Vijay Singh Chauhan said the labour class was hurt at the decisions and negative attitude of the government.
