In the severe cold, Asha workers from 75 districts of UP gathered at Charbagh railway station. She was about to march towards the assembly on foot from the station. The police arrived before this. The forces of 4 police stations stopped all the Asha workers by barricading them all around.

There was a lot of struggle and ruckus with the Asha workers to get out of Charbagh, but the police did not allow any Asha worker to move forward. During this, Asha workers raised slogans – 2 thousand is not enough, not less than 20 thousand. At present all the Asha workers are sitting at Charbagh railway station. They are continuously shouting slogans.

5 point demand of Asha workers

1- Asha workers should be given minimum wage, maternity leave, ESI, provident fund, gratuity and pension guarantee by giving them the status of state health workers as per the recommendations of the 45/46th Indian Labor Conference.

2- Health insurance of Rs 10 lakh and life insurance of Rs 50 lakh should be guaranteed.

3- The working hours of Asha workers should be fixed.

4- The pending payments from 2017 till now should be assessed and paid.

5- Gratuity should be paid on retirement.

Asha worker Neetu Dixit said that she has been serving since 2006. It is our compulsion to come in this severe cold. We are already on the streets. Now after reaching here they are fighting for their rights. Are pleading. One gets a salary of Rs 2000, in which it has become very difficult to raise one’s children. Neither are they able to provide good education to their children nor are they able to get timely treatment when they fall ill.

We, who make the lives of other children, cannot improve the lives of our own children. The Rs 2000 that we get, some officer employee should show us how to survive. we have two children. He could not study properly. Today he is searching for a job. There is no facility for our treatment, we are not able to get treatment even with Ayushman card. We treat everyone, but are not able to get ourselves treated.

Asha worker says that it is our compulsion to protest in Lucknow. The government says, save our daughters, educate our daughters but it does not help us. What should we do with Rs 2000? We were recruited as Asha workers. We were made operators. We worked diligently during the Corona period.

Many Asha’s died, but the Chief Minister gave all the credit for the service to the Anganwadi workers. If we reach CSC center late at night for delivery, we do not even get a room to spend the night. We get two to two and a half thousand rupees, but that too not on time.

If we start getting money according to the work, we will get 15 to 20 thousand rupees. No one can stop us from going to the assembly. Today we will break the barricades and reach the assembly.

Akhilesh Yadav said – Now ‘Asha’ has got disappointment…

Samajwadi Party National President Akhilesh Yadav shared the video on a post and wrote that now the Chief Minister will say that there has been no movement of ‘Asha Workers’ anywhere. Then you will ask your AI team to change the sound of the slogans being raised against them by ‘raising their hands’ into cheering them.
