 Hello and welcome to NewsClick's Daily Roundup. I am Aditi and I am Prashant and here are the major stories of the day. Phase 6 of polling begins tomorrow, Delhi votes. Scheme workers providing essential care and services, still not getting their dues. Bhopal votes in phase 6, we examine what experts think might happen in Madhya Pradesh. A weakened African National Congress clings to victory in South African elections and we meet NewsClick's latest reporter, the Gau Patrakar. It is voting weekend here in New Delhi. After 5 long years, it's finally time to change what we can. And it's not just Delhi, 59 constituencies in other 6 states will also go to polls tomorrow. These are Haryana, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. Out of these in the last parliamentary elections, BJP had a clean sweep in Delhi by winning all 7 seats. Apart from West Bengal, all the rest of the states were also strongholds of the current ruling party. Of the 59 constituencies, the BJP won 45 in 2014, the Indian National Congress won 2 and the remaining 12 went to other parties such as the TMC, LJP, CPIM. Continuing with Delhi, we go to Jaffrabad, where our reporter, Sumedha Spal, spoke to scheme workers in the city. Now these scheme workers are the front lines of delivering health and nutrition last mile services. However, over the past 5 years, despite constant struggles, their demands have not been met. Here is what they had to say. I have been working here for the past 11 years in Anganwadi. And I have to see a lot of problems related to the area and my work. First of all, our salary is nothing. If it is said that it is expensive, then it is clear. It is not that expensive, but it is not a salary. What happens in the year 1968? Nothing. The problem of Anganwadi karamcharis is not just about poverty. Their use of the government is also done in the public sector, while they are not given any separate salary for it. In the same way, we have talked to Afroz, who works as a helper in Anganwadi. They say, do it on a big day, children, do it with your own hands. We call them in the railways to get rid of their pregnant railways. Sometimes we get them to work in the railways to save their cleanliness. We also get them to work as a do-list worker. And now they are sharing the responsibility of the girls. When it comes to money, they give half of their salary. How much does the government say about the scheme workers? This is what we have tried to find out. The Delhi-Anganwadi helpers union secretary, Kamla ji says. They get wages. After a lot of struggle, they get about 10,000 workers and about 5,000 helpers. It is not complete. There is neither 10,000 nor 5,000. There are a lot of workers in the centre. The other worker is paid 200 rupees to get a job. They do whatever they can do. Actually, the centre is not working properly. Whether they do their work or the other way around. There are a lot of centres in which the helpers are working. They are educated. They do everything. Even if they are not, what are they doing? They do everything. They survey, distribute food, do everything. But they don't get even 200 rupees. So this is not exploitation. From Jaffra Bad, we moved to Nand Nagri, where our reporter Bhasah Singh met residents mostly from the Valmiki community. Many of these residents are engaged in safari and sanitation work. Here is what she found. People come here to get a vote. They come from our party, from the Congress. But for us, there has never been any freedom. There is no freedom for anything. Some of our children are studying in government schools. But they don't even know how to study. What is your name? Babita. What do you do, Babita? I do the work of picking vegetables. What else do I do? What other jobs do we have here? All of you are from the Valmiki community? All of them are from the Valmiki community. They told us that they would come here for a good day. They told us to get a vote. We also came here to get a vote. But they didn't come here for a good day. They came here for a bad day. They closed the note and put it in the lane. We had to pay 4,000 to 5,000 rupees for a private job. We don't have anything. We show our face on time. We have been missing for 5 years. We have been missing for a long time. Did you tell them? Yes, we did. What did you tell them? I told them that I would do something for you. But they didn't do anything for me. No, we didn't do anything for the poor. We used to buy cylinders. We used to come here for 4,500 rupees. Now we have to keep 900 rupees in our hands. 900 rupees? Yes. It costs 750 rupees. It costs 850 rupees. I don't understand anything. Sometimes it increases, sometimes it decreases. We have to speak openly that he is increasing his agenda. We are doing this to choose a government, not to choose a military commander. If we were to choose a general, then we would have voted for Mr. Modi. He is a very good general. And we talk about killing him at home. But we have to choose a prime minister. We talk about our agenda. We talk about our role. We talk about the role of the government. We talk about our role. We talk about our role. We talk about our role. But we will talk about something else. We will talk about Ram Rahim. We will talk about him. We will talk about other things. We will talk about politics. Then I will say again and again. This is a set-up. This is a narrative set-up. This is politics. But there are a lot of topics for debate. Whether it is politics, whether it is politics, or other topics. But we are talking about the election. Like how yesterday's father took out the digression. How are these fathers who were standing with Sivaraj and today are standing with the digression. What are they going to give you? If the rally was to be held, then it should be held on February, February, the National Security Council, or the National Security Council. But why are these issues not discussed? I think that the religious or sentimental suits are going to be discussed. In our international segment, we go to South Africa, where the African National Congress won the latest elections, but with a reduced margin. This sets the stage for the party head, Cyril Ram Forser, to become the president again. The African National Congress got 57.5% of the vote, which is a drastic reduction and experts say that the decline in vote indicates that the people are unhappy over the government's inability to tackle the inequities introduced by the apartheid regime. Over the past few years, successive ANC governments have increasingly privatized the country with even state-owned enterprises being turned over to private hands. Similarly, there has not been much of a solution to the unemployment problem. Over 27% of people fall into the category of job seekers who are no longer seeking jobs. All this is led to a reduced voter turnout or reduced voter support for the ANC. The second largest party, the Democratic Alliance, also saw a short decline in votes. The major beneficiary in this election has been Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters. However, this party, which got nearly 10% of the vote, has been criticized for its xenophobic and polarizing messaging. The largest union in the country, the National Union of Metal Workers of South Africa, formed a political party the Socialist Revolutionary Workers Party in March. This party got nearly 0.15% of the vote, which indicates that the task of consolidating working-class votes is a long-term one. That's all we have for the international section today. In an age of self-obsessed anchors and violent debates on TV, we often forget that journalism is really about having more feet on the ground and about taking reality by the horns. In the spirit of this, here's introducing our latest bovine journalist. We have opened up Gauzala. And Gauzala is not able to walk properly because there is no money left. If you sit down, then you'll sit in the chair. If they say so, they won't even have a chair. Yes. Wow! Baby! Smile! Smile! Smile! Smile! When we were in the village, we had to keep them in the house. You can also sit in the village. You'll have to know how it works.
