“Those who used to advocate socialism had pushed the construction workers and others engaged in the unorganised sector towards destruction. They used to treat employers as class enemies and tried to engage employers and workers in fights,” he said at a government programme here.

Claiming that the BJP's ideology is to respect both employers and workers, Saha said both are an integral part of the development process.
