“The government has already initiated the process of regularizing the daily wagers and casual labour in various Government departments,” he said, adding that the BJP Government will take every possible step for resolving their issues on priority basis.
“The successive Governments in the past have exploited the employees, conveniently ignoring the genuine issues faced by them. However, the BJP Government has always thought of their welfare.
