SRINAGAR: BJP MLA from Jammu east Rajesh Gupta in his address to the House claimed that 61,000 daily wagers are on strike for the last 80 days and nobody is asking about their welfare.
Rajesh Gupta informed the House that these daily wagers have not got their salaries for the last 40 months.
He asked “Just think how these people must be running their houses and managing their kitchens?” Stating that the preceding governments just played with their livelihood and only used them as their vote banks, Rajesh urged the government to consider their case for regularisation. The case of daily wagers has the support of the entire BJP especially MLAs Ravinder Raina, R.S Pathania, Shakti Parihar, Daleep Parihar, Jeevan Lal, Kuldeep Raj, Rajeev Jasrotia and Neelam Langeh.
