Congress MP candidate for Vizianagaram, Bobbili Srinu, on Wednesday alleged that National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government had completely suppressed trade unions with the amalgamation of 44 labour laws into four labour codes, which were enacted to benefit and protect the interests of corporate sector.

Along with CPI(M) State committee member P. Kameswara Rao, CPI leaders Ommi Ramana, Bugata Ashok, he took out a massive rally in Vizianagaram to highlight the injustice meted out to labourers of the country.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that labourers were unable to question the injustice, with the labour codes favouring only corporates. He alleged that YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) diverted labour welfare funds, while ignoring the welfare of construction labourers who used to get financial assistance during marriages, accidents and deaths.
