Trade union leaders court arrest
Several trade union leaders on Tuesday courted arrest while staging a protest against the National Democratic Alliance governments at Centre and Puducherry.
Members of INTUC, CITU, AITUC, and other trade unions took out a march from Balaji Theatre junction to highlight the “anti-people” policies of the NDA governments. They raised slogans criticising both governments for their failure to control the price of essential commodities and policies against the interest of working class.
The police stopped the members near J. N Street-Mission Street junction. They were arrested and later released.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
