Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions calls on the trade unions to organise protest demonstrations against the budget on 05-02-2025.

It is a known fact that, in the name of budget, the Central Government is giving big concessions to the big corporates every year, while imposing heavy burdens on the working masses. The year 1925 is born and one more budget is going to come. In this connection, Ms.Nirmala Sitaraman, Union Finance Minister, has held a consultation meeting with the Central Trade Unions on 06-01-2025. As we have already informed, the Central Trade Unions have strongly protested disinvestment and privatisation of the Public Sector Undertakings and also various Central Government services, such as the railways, defence, etc. It is a well-known fact that, this consultation meeting is only a formality. Severe blow for the working people and big concessions for the corporates are going to be announced in this year's budget also. Hence, the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions has decided to call on the trade unions to organise protest demonstrations against the budget on 05-02-2025. The CHQ of BSNLEU calls on the circle and district unions to successfully organise this programme.
