The 5 days Strike by the coal workers has started on 6th January, 2015 against de-nationalization of the coal sector, the most retrograde move by the BJP government. All the five central trade unions in the coal sector, BMS, HMS, AITUC, CITU and INTUC have joined together to fight out the anti-national measure of the government.  

The strike has badly hit the mining activities through out the country. Mean while, The Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), the trade union wing of the Rashtriya Swayam Sangh, has slammed the central government for promulgating the ordinance for allowing commercial mining of coal and further divestment of Coal India Limited. It has further stated that the government was telling lies to rule the country.

AIBDPA fully supports the strike and expresses its complete solidarity to the striking coal workers.
