Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is merely an excuse, the target is on migrant workers

Mumbai, Omprakash Tiwari. Maharashtra Politics: A special train for workers was started from the first date of May and prosperous and advanced states like Maharashtra and Gujarat were formed on this date. There is also no doubt that the blood-and-sweat that played a major role in bringing these two states to this stage of progress has reached there from states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

Unfortunately see that this time when we were celebrating Maharashtra and Gujarat Day sitting in our homes for fear of Corona, the same blood and sweat was seen migrating towards UP and Bihar. So, now the states that have reached the peak of progress, do not need these workers?

Special trains filled with migrant workers leave for UP-Bihar:The debate started in Maharashtra in the last few days has started to look like this. When special trains filled with migrant workers from various stations of Mumbai started to go towards UP-Bihar, And while some laborers came walking towards their homes on foot by road, some of the veteran leaders of Maharashtra took a cold breath and said that now the Bhumiputras will get a place in the vacant place from these workers. Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray himself gave a call to local entrepreneurs to start giving jobs in their industries to the Bhumiputras, ie the local people. But there are some people who know that this is not going to happen. One of them is Sanjay Raut, a Rajya Sabha member of Shiv Sena. In his column written in the Shiv Sena mouthpiece recently, he admitted that Marathi Tarun is not going to come forward in hard-working jobs. Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray claims that migrants living in Mumbai from other states had no problem eating and drinking after the lockdown. Despite this, they wanted to go home.

There was no revenue source due to the lockdown: but his claim is revealed by a report by the Stranded Workers Action Network, a voluntary organization working among migrant workers. The report of this institution, prepared on the basis of interactions with 1,531 groups of migrants and 16,863 single workers, said that 93 percent of the workers living here during lockdown did not get any government ration and 91 percent of the people did not get their work remuneration.

The report says that 64 percent of migrant workers had less than Rs 100 left after 32 days of lockdown. Among self-employed people like autorickshaw, taxi driver, Bhelpuri, vegetable seller, carpentry, 99 percent had no means of earning due to lockdown and could not get government ration. It was being said that if there is a ration card anywhere in the country, then the ration will be available here. But Ramsingh, a migrant, says that he did not get a government ration despite being a Mumbai-based ration card. The number of such deprived people has been in the thousands.

Yogi had the idea of ​​creating a Migration Commission: This plight actually forced the workers to flee from Mumbai on foot. Probably because of this plight of workers, the idea of ​​creating a migration commission may have come to the mind of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. However, his statement does not seem to be practical that any state has to be allowed or any state should ask for the workers to go from one state to another. This will create problems for the workers only. But taking a lesson from the crisis standing in the meantime, a Migration Commission should be set up at the central government level, because this problem does not belong to any one state. But now even on Yogi’s statement, the beginning of politics in Maharashtra indicates that political parties are now planning to take political advantage of migrating migrants too.

In fact, this metropolitan city has more than two-thirds of the population of non-Marathi speakers. This is the reason for the suffering of Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. This non-Marathi-speaking population occupies a decisive position on its Marathi-speaking voters on election days. Two years later, elections are being held for the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, where the Shiv Sena has been in power for the last 30 years and in the last election, the BJP had lost only two seats. How long the power of the state will remain in the hands of Shiv Sena is not known. At least she does not want to lose her hand in power in Mumbai.
