An Odisha branch of the All India Unorganised Workers’ Congress (AIUWC) was inaugurated at the Congress Bhavan here on Sunday.
“While the unorganised workers have a big contribution in strengthening the country’s economy, the BJP Government at the Centre and the BJD Government at the State have completely failed to provide them socio-economic security. We will undertake various programmes for interest of these workers,” said PCC president Prasad Harichandan while inaugurating the State branch of the AIUWC.
AICC general secretary and Indian National Trade Union Congress State president Dr Ramchandra Khuntia, AIUWC State president Bidyadhar Mohanty were present.
Kuntia said the AIUWC is committed to protect the interest of the unorganised workers. Similarly, Mohanty said the State branch would organise a huge rally in coming days.
Among others, PCC vice-president Dr Yuddhsthir Jena, Kishore Jena, Haladhar Sethi, Bijay Dwibedi, Pranati Mishra and Sushant Tripathi were present.
