Govt backtracked on MESMA fearing vote demand by Oppn: Cong
|
22.3.2018 |
General News |
| The fear of facing a vote in the Maharashtra Assembly forced the state government to stay the invocation of the Maharashtra Essential Services Maintenance Act (MESMA) against 'anganwadi' workers, the Congress claimed today.
Leader of Opposition in the Assembly Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil said the BJP's ally Shiv Sena had also voiced its objection to invoking the stringent Act against the anganwadi workers, and this too put pressure on the government.
The senior Congress MLA's remarks came after Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today stayed the invocation of MESMA against the anganwadi workers.
The government had last week invoked the MESMA to stop workers of anganwadis (the state-run women and child care centres) from going on a strike.
"Considering the sentiments of the august house, the government has decided to stay the MESMA against anganwadi workers," Fadnavis said in the Lower House.
Notably, the Shiv Sena, an ally of the BJP, and the opposition Congress and NCP were |

MESMA essential for anganwadi workers, says Munde
|
20.3.2018 |
General News |
| The enforcement of the stringent Maharashtra Essential Services Maintenance Act (MESMA) on the 'anganwadi' workers was essential to deter them from going on strike, the state government said today.
State Women and Child Development Minister Pankaja Munde said in the state Legislative Council that the anganwadi centres were required to function for the lactating and pregnant women, and the malnourished children.
The state government had last week invoked the MESMA against strikes by workers of anganwadi, the stare-run women and child care centres, after consultations with the law and judiciary department.
"If the anganwadi workers go on a strike for a month, the children and women are not fed for the same period. Is it wrong to ensure the well-being of malnourished children?," Munde asked in the Upper House.
She sought the opposition's support on the government's decision to invoke MESMA for the sake of women and malnourished children.
