A media hype was created around the Modi led BJP government’s budget 2025-26. It evoked a lot of debates and speculations around the tax concession and rebates but the most important proposal of deregulation of labour and its accompanied announcements in the budget was completely ignored by the media.
2025 is earmarked for an all comprehensive attack on the working class by the Modi government. Implementation of Labour Codes, indiscriminate privatisation of public and government sectors and to employ three new criminal acts to suppress the labour revolt arising out of the implementation of Labour Codes. This is Modi’s strategy.

The Workers Manifesto – 2024
May 1, 2023 marks the centenary of May Day celebration in India. Internationally, the observance of May Day had begun in 1886 with widespread protests and strike struggles demanding an eight-hour limit to the work day. Following the Haymarket massacre in Chicago on 4 May 1886, the movement gained further momentum.
The Government of India organised a Labour Ministers’ conference at Tirupati on 25–26 August 2022 without any representatives of any central trade unions. The conference was virtually inaugurated by the Prime Minister Modi.
