The review says the JVP’s 2019 policy document proposed raising estate workers’ salaries to Rs. 1,000, but reports that no recent policy statement on the matter had been issued. It also says the social media claim misrepresented that older, estate-worker policy as a recent proposal for state workers.[S1]
