They did not provide any facility for the agricultural laborers either. No new project has been announced for the state of Punjab. No provision of employment was made even to remove unemployment. B.S. Sekhon General Secretary said that while condemning the central budget by the organization, it was declared as a budget against employees, pensioners, farmers and labour.
