Holding State Government responsible for the death of an electricity contract employee while sitting on demonstration the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) sought resignation from Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
AAP State convener Alok Agarwal in a statement here on Thursday said that during the past four days all the contractual employees of the electricity department were on strike demanding that services of all of them should be regularized as per the promise made by Chief Minister Chouhan during the run for the assembly elections vide his ‘Jansankalp Patra 2013.’
Agarwal said, “The electricity contractual employees were demanding since long from Chief Minister Chouhan to fulfill this promise that was not heard by CM compelling them to go on strike. Thousands of contractual employees were on strike in this scorching heat at the Ambedkar Park but the Chouhan led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government of the state did not took any care of them and on Thursday one of the contractual employee Ramnarayan Dixit after delivering speech died.”
Agarwal further said that this is a murder done by the Chouhan Government and hence the Chief Minister should immediately resign. “Scams to the tune of over two lakh crore rupees have taken place in the electricity sector in Madhya Pradesh, had these mega scams not taken place due to neck deep corruption in the department the State Government could have easily regularized all these contractual employees,” he added.
HE said that all the contractual employees have been regularized by the AAP government in Delhi and if voted to power in Madhya Pradesh all the contractual employees would be regularized.
