The upper number is the highest I could find, so it likely is a margin lower.

While :ukkk: newspapers title:

The states of Kerala and West Bengal banned government employees from joining the strike, and Maharashtra invoked an emergency law banning the 80,000 workers in its power companies from striking.

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) congratulates the working class for the successful 48-hour general strike held on March 28-29. Millions of workers responded to the call given by 10 Central Trade Unions and various sectoral federations.

Note: The 250 million number got removed from the original article I found it in.

The strike follows the 2020 general strike which might’ve been the largest in history till that moment

Millions of Indian workers to join two-day general strike against Modi’s ruinous pro-investor policies

No investigation, no right to speak. Fucking chauvinist.

Found the imperial core “leftist” obsessed with purity while somehow still defending Pol Pot and stanning the Shining Path lmfao

Extremely surprised you haven’t done something reactionary enough to be banned yet by the mods.

Take a moment to read the top reply, it was a court decision and the court is appointed by the federal government.

from little contact i had once w an indian communist he talked about how the keralan demsocs try very hard to distance themselves from the maoists while the maoists resent the cpim for severing ties in exchange for electoral influence.

The Communist Party of India-Marxist has government control over Kerala and has for a long time. The order to prevent Government workers from striking is a High Court of Kerala decision. The Keralan Government itself has been encouraging the protests and even proposed to give leave of absence with full pay to its workers until the High Court threw a shit fit.

Judges in a high court are appointed by the President of India in consultation with the Chief Justice of India and the governor of the state under Art 217 of the Constitution but through subsequent judicial interpretations, the primacy of the appointment process is on the hands of the Judicial Collegium.

So this is more of a Federal government intervention.
