Electricity workers of UP show the way against privatisation.

In tune with the steps being taken by the Modi government to demolish the public sector, the Uttar Pradesh government had also decided to privatise the distribution of electricity. However, the 15 lakh electricity workers of Uttar Pradesh state are determined to stop this privatisation. They started an indefinite strike against this privatisation. On the second day of the strike itself, the Yogi Adityanath government is forced to withdraw it’s plan to privatise the electricity service. The 15 lakh electricity workers of Uttar Pradesh have shown the way to fight against privatisation of the public sector. This is a historic victory. BSNLEU heartily congratulates the Uttar Pradesh electricity workers.
