Good news for people working in Delhi, the government increased the minimum wage

Delhi New CM Atishi: Delhi's Aam Aadmi Party government has increased the minimum wage rates. Chief Minister Atishi said on Wednesday that unskilled labourers will now get Rs 18066 per month. Semi-skilled labourers will get Rs 19929. While skilled labourers will now get Rs 21917 per month. Atishi claimed that BJP-ruled states get half the minimum wage compared to Delhi.

Decision taken to stop exploitation of labourers

Delhi Chief Minister Atishi said that if you go to see the minimum wages across the country, then Arvind Kejriwal's government has given the highest minimum wages in the country. To stop the exploitation of poor people, the Delhi government has taken the minimum wage to a historic level. BJP has always done anti-poor work and we can see it in two ways. For the first time when Arvind Kejriwal's government talked about increasing the minimum wage in 2016-2017, the BJP stopped us through its Lieutenant Governor. Then the Delhi government brought an order from the court to increase the minimum wage.

Atishi targeted BJP

CM Atishi said that BJP strongly opposed it. As always, Arvind Kejriwal's government fought and brought a decision in favor of the common people of Delhi. If you look at the BJP-ruled states, there the minimum wage will probably be half of that of Delhi. BJP not only gives low wages in its states but also tries its best to stop it in Delhi. We are increasing the minimum wage.

Atishi said that apart from the basic facilities of good electricity, water, schools and hospitals, the Delhi government has done a historic work which was not possible in the whole country, that is to provide the highest minimum wage. The poor and daily wage workers like laborers, plumbers etc. get minimum wages. Stop exploiting them, the Delhi government has taken the minimum wage to a historic level.
