I can only agree to the opinions expressed by RVG and Regi. The Extreme left
which has pointed its guns at CPM are completely missing the rest of the
world. Even CPM has consistently maintained in their Party Congress reports
that the cadre quality is going down. The world is changing, the mindset of
the people is changing, social responsibility is coming down, orthodoxy,
irrationality and greed are going up, and the other side the Left has to
face ( Chidambaram folks who are absolutely unconcerned about things that
Matter & the BJP fools) is making the space so tough for them to do
something. Please understand this.

RVG Sir,
If somebody thinks that the 8 hour working day norm should prevail in Smart
City, they must be living in a fool's paradise. Most of the software firms
have 24x7 support arms, and even otherwise, the way a software company
functions is way different from traditional methods. Sometimes you will have
to spend 24 hours at a stretch in office, and some other days, you dont have
to sit even 6 hours.

Anyway. In our state, the trashing of Labour laws is nothing new. Those
people working in textile and jewelery shops are there from morning to
night. And they cant even think about maternity leaves and such things.
Those working in private banks, and in the telecom sector (like Airtel,
Reliance) in our state already work from morning to night.

And, just consider those running the small palacharakku kada round the
corner- they are working 7 days a week, and most of the days in an year.

The thing is, Its is a tough world out there.
