Description
At his Vijay Shankhnaad rally in Agra on Thursday, Bharatiya Janata Party prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi once again raised the issue of the migration of workers from Uttar Pradesh to Gujarat in hordes. This is not the first time Modi has raised the issue of migrant labour. On November 8th, speaking at a rally in Bahraich district of UP, Modi had said, "There is no district, tehsil of UP, whose youth don't stay in Gujarat. When they can do wonders for Gujarat, UP can also utilise their skills." The issue of internal migrants is being used to derive political mileage and migrants are are meted out pity from the political leaders. The Gujarat chief minister has to realise that internal migration is the reality of our economy. According to a recent UNESCO report titled 'Social Inclusion of Internal Migrants in India', internal migrants in India are expected to touch 400 million in the 2011 census, over half the global figure of 740 million and almost twice as many as China's estimated 221 million. These internal migrants, comprising a third of the country's population, are estimated to account for remittances anywhere between Rs.70,000 crore and Rs.120,000 crore.
