May Day Observance at tea garden
Braving thunderstorm and rains, nearly 100 workers assembled at Dipa Line of Sachindra Chandra Tea Estate in Khoribari, Darjeeling district to observe historic May Day.
People of West Bengal, particularly the working class of the state voted decisively and conclusively against the BJP during the recently concluded assembly election. Political observers are of the opinion that this is a defeat of Modi - Amit Shah duopoly, who travelled by air to this state in the thick of election like daily passengers and who frantically tried to capture Bengal. It was also held as a befitting reply to the EC, which was shamelessly bent in favour of Modi and BJP dragging the polls for 8 phases amid raging second wave of COVID.
When the pandemic is raging the state with all ferocity, when health system is collapsing fast, the mill owners are closing the jute mills one after another in West Bengal causing severe resentment among workers and throwing thousands and thousands of workers' out of employment.
