In a latest development, Bharat Bandh has been announced on the demand of All India Backward and Minority Communities Employees Federation (BAMCEF) on May 25.
This development came after the Central Government refused to conduct a caste-based census of Other Backward Castes.
Apart from BAMCEF, the Bharat Bandh on May 25 has also got the support of Bahujan Mukti Party. Moreover, National Convener of Bahujan Kranti Morcha has also extended his support to the Bharat Bandh on May 25.
Those willing to be a part of the Bharat Band are running a campaign on social media to shut down businesses and public transportation on May 25.
Why is Bharat Bandh demanded?
Talking specifically about Mumbai, it has come to light that the Bharat Bandh will not have any significant impact in Mumbai and surrounding areas. Along with government offices, private offices will also operate normally. It is also not expected to have any impact on the transport service.
