Tea Garden Workers in Tripura Unhappy with BJP Govt
Tripura goes to the polls on February 16. The BJP, seeking another term, has been conducting a very aggressive campaign. It has put up unusually tall banners and its campaign stars include the Prime Minister, Home Minister, and actors.' The ruling party has been claiming that it has brought development and a reduction in crime. However, tea garden workers in the State are among those dissatisfied with the BJP-led government. They claim that they are receiving low wages and that the government has withdrawn the sanction for medical expenses. These workers say that the previous CPI(M)-led government was more favorable towards labor rights and are looking for a change in the upcoming elections.
