Bank employees protest on May 30, 31
Bengaluru, May 24: The United Forum Of Banks Union has called for all India bank strike on May 30 and 31 demanding revision of salaries of bank officials and employees.
Speaking to reporters at the Press Club here on Thursday, union leader Srinivas said that despite several rounds of discussions with the United Front of Banks Union, the Indian Bank Association has failed to revise the salaries. Protesting this lethargic attitude, the Union has called for the all India strike. More than 70 per cent profit of the banks in the last ten years has gone for compensating the Non Performing Assets (NPA). Neither the bank officials nor the employees are responsible for such a development. So, it is not fair to deny the revision of the pay scale, he said.
In the last five years, the banking transaction has increased many folds. But when compared to the percentage in total expenditure, the employees’ salary has come down from 13.72 per cent to 10.81 per cent. In spite of the high inflation, the government has been cutting the salaries of bank officials and employees which is not fair. Against this stand, the union has called for two day bank strike, he said.

Five to six opposition MLAs might cross over to Mahayuti in few months: NCP chief whip Anil Patil
Mumbai, Nov 24: There is unrest in the Maha Vikas Aghadi camp and its five to six MLAs might join the ruling Mahayuti in the next few months, claimed NCP chief whip Anil Patil, who has retained his Amalner assembly seat, on Sunday.
The MVA of Congress, NCP (SP) and Shiv Sena (UBT) suffered a crushing blow in the Maharashtra assembly polls, winning only 46 of the state's 288 seats. By contrast, the BJP-led ruling coalition, which also has NCP and Shiv Sena as partners, bagged an impressive 230 seats.
“There is tremendous unrest among some NCP (SP), Congress and Sena (UBT) MLAs who have been re-elected. Those having good relations with us have expressed concerns over MVA’s massive defeat,” Patil told Marathi news channel ABP Majha.
If one wants development works in his constituency, it is good to be in power, said the legislator from Ajit Pawar’s party.
“The MVA MLAs feel their future is uncertain. It shouldn’t be a surprise if five to six MLAs cross over to the Mahayuti in the next four months,” he said.
In the results of the Maharashtra polls declared on Saturday, BJP won in 132 constituencies, while its partners Shiv Sena and NCP walked away with 57 and 41 seats, respectively.
From the MVA camp, Shiv Sena (UBT) bagged 20 seats followed by Congress’ 16 and 10 by NCP (SP).
