Organise protest demonstrations on 05.02.2025, against the anti-people and pro-corporate Union budget.

During the past 15 years, the profits of the big corporates in India has increased tremendously. At the same time, the wages of the workers have remained almost stagnant. This is said by none other than the government’s own pre-budget economic survey. This has been prepared by the Chief Economic Advisor of the government Shri V. Anantha Nageswaran and submitted in the Parliament by Ms. Nirmala Sitaraman, Finance Minister. However, what action is taken by the government in the budget to change this situation? Nothing. On the contrary, again big concessions are given to the rich and the corporates. Various allocations being made to the poorer sections of the people have been cut down drastically. Most importantly, the allocation for MGNREGA, which is meant to provide jobs to the rural poor, is remaining the same for the past few years. The big concessions continuously being given to the corporates has not resulted in increased investments in the country, which again will result in more employment generation. However, the government is determined to serve the big corporates at the cost of the poor people of this country. It is under these circumstances, that the Joint Platform of the Central Trade Union has called on the Indian working class to organise protest demonstrations against the Union budget on 05.02.2025. The CHQ of BSNLEU calls upon the circle and district unions to organise this protest demonstrations successfully.
