Thereafter, BSNLEU nominated com. Suresh Kumar, GS, BSNL MS, to the National Council. Recently, Management has rejected this nomination, stating that com. Suresh Kumar's union has not obtained 7% votes in the last membership verification. Com.P.Abhimanyu,GS, met shri A.M.Gupta, GM(SR) today, and discussed this issue. The GS pointed out that the Management has rejected BSNLEU's nomination by giving a wrong interpretation. 7% vote criteria does not apply to this case, told the GS.
