The Shiv Sena and the Congress on Wednesday attacked the BJP-led Maharashtra Government over the ongoing strike of State employees for various demands. They said the strike is indicative of the “failure” of the ruling dispensation on various fronts.
Around 17 lakh class 3 and class 4 employees of the state Government went on three-day strike, which began yesterday for various demands, including implementation of the Seventh Pay Commission and filling up of vacant posts. Sena president Uddhav Thackeray said that instead of mulling action against the striking employees, the Government should fulfill their demands.
“Everybody, right from farmers to Government employees have gone on strike. Instead of taking action against them, the Government should solve their problems,” Thackeray said.
