Despite the smouldering subterranean fire, NLCF leaders came together on the occasion of the 44th AGM in Delhi to celebrate their huge success at the recently concluded NCUI elections.
There are five members of us who have made it to the top co-op body in the country, said Ashok Dabas with a sense of pride. NLCF wishes to felicitate them, he added. Dabas himself waged an unsuccessful heroic fight against VVP Nair at the NCUI election.
It bears recall that three Directors on the Board of NLCF made it to NCUI’s Governing Council. They are Sanjiv Kushalkar, VVP Nair and Arun Tomar. The other two felicitated on the occasion are those spearheading labour co-op movements in their respective areas. They are Jeena Potsangbam and Gurpartap Singh Khushalpur.
While Jeena’s election has been challenged in the court and the matter is to come up for hearing in January, Khushalpur has been made permanent special invitee to the GC of the apex body.
Co-operators connected to the Labour sector felt that the huge presence of them at the apex body must lead to greater business for the sector. Labour co-ops, barring a few exceptions, are not doing well in the country, they reminded their winners.
