Respectful homage to Com.K.G.Bose.

Today is the 50th death anniversary of the legendary trade union leader, Com.K.G.Bose. Even 50 years after his passing away, the ideological direction given by Com.K.G.Bose, continues to influence the Postal and Telecommunications trade union movement. He entered into the service, as a clerk in the DET office in Kolkata. But, he was dismissed from service in 1949 itself. Nevertheless, Com.K.G.Bose continued to work in the P&T trade union movement. He worked as the circle secretary of both E3 and P3 circle unions of West Bengal. In 1970, Com.K.G.Bose got elected as the President of the mighty National Federation of Postal and Telegraph Employees (NFPTE). There was a contest for this post. Com.K.G.Bose got elected, defeating the then young Congress leader, Mohan Dharia. Within NFPTE, Com.K.G.Bose conducted an ideological struggle, to give the correct direction of fighting against the anti-working class policies of the government. Com.K.G.Bose relentlessly travelled throughout the length and breadth of the country and organised a working class oriented powerful P&T trade union movement. He inspired thousands of comrades, who became dedicated and selfless leaders of the working class movement. In that process, the health of Com.K.G.Bose got affected. He passed away at an early age of 53. It is a matter of pride for all of us that, BSNLEU continues to march ahead in the path shown by Com.K.G.Bose. We pay our respectful homage to Com.K.G.Bose on the occasion of his 50th death anniversary.
