It is noteworthy that rights of workers have been suspended despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi exhorting employers during the initial phase of the lockdown period not to cut down jobs.

New Delhi: Over the past week, various states, including those ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as well as those ruled by non-BJP political parties, are being held squarely responsible for drastic suspension of labour laws in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown thereby stripping workers of their basic rights. However, it is increasingly being felt in certain political circles that it is actually the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre that has been pushing through the lopsided reforms.

State governments that have made sweeping changes to labour laws recently, including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat, are being ruled by the BJP. However, Congress-ruled states like Punjab and Rajasthan have also followed these states in introducing labour law reforms, albeit in lesser degrees. Similarly, the state government of Odisha, led by the regional party Biju Janata Dal (BJD), which at this point of time is neither directly aligned with the NDA nor the Congress, has also introduced certain changes in labour laws. All states have unequivocally advocated the need for labour reforms ostensibly to attract investments, boost revenues, generate employment and put the economy back on track following the Covid-19 pandemic. The laws will be temporarily held in abeyance for a period of a few months to a few years in different states as the case maybe.
