The views expressed at these formal and informal meetings would be incorporated in the party manifesto as the party is of considered opinion that the aspirations of the people provide essential input for the preparation of the manifesto.
The representative of the different employees unions sought that all recruitments to the government jobs should be on merit and regularized and the system of hiring employees on contract or through contractors, ad-hoc or temporary basis should be abandoned for good. These systems have resulted in gross disparities in salaries and allied service conditions for instance adhoc teachers or doctors get even less than one third of the regular teachers /doctors for the same work. Also, all the ad-hoc or temporary employees working for the last three years should be regularized immediately.
