Bank Strike and After
The Narendra Modi government at the centre has learnt its lessons from the resounding setback to its policies given by the farmers’ agitation. For now they have decided that discretion is the better part of valour. In the face of mounting resistance from the bank employees they have desisted from introducing the Banking Laws Amendment Bill, 2021 in the winter session. Bank strike on 16 and 17th December was a huge success. Barring some new generation banks in some cities, the shutdown was complete.
