Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh criticised Modi government’s handling of the economy and demanded stimulus package towards employment generating activities in labour intensive sectors.
On a day when senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former finance minister Yashwant Sinha trained his guns against the government’s economic policies, a Sangh-affiliate Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS) also hit out at the Modi government.
The RSS affiliate criticised the Modi government’s handling of the economy, called advisors ‘faulty’ and also criticised foreign direct investment policy (FDI). Calling the reforms ‘misguided’, BMS said that the economic policies are continuation of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) regime.
But, what is worrying for the finance ministry is that, the BMS has demanded for stimulus package for labour intensive sectors. In a statement, the RSS-affiliate said, "Government should declare stimulus package towards employment generating activities in labour intensive sectors in order to contain slowdown of economy."
It also raised the matter of non-payment of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Gurantee Act (MNREGA) work.
