Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav said the news of the woman employee’s death was very worrisome as such incidents raise questions about the working conditions in various organisations.
“Such news is a symbol of the current economic pressure in the country. All companies and government departments will have to think seriously in this regard… Such sudden deaths raise questions about working conditions,” Yadav said in a post on X in Hindi on Tuesday.
“To overcome this problem, companies and government departments should make active and meaningful efforts,” he said.
Yadav further targeted the BJP government, saying, “Due to the failed economic policies of the BJP government, the business of companies has decreased so much that to save their business, they get more work done by fewer people.”
