The Karnataka Janata Party (KJP) will accord priority to labour welfare if voted to power, party president B S Yeddyurappa said on Sunday.

party.

KJP Labour Wing president L Kalappa said the party would consider including issues like increasing salaries for garment factory workers, providing government employee status to anganwadi workers, medical insurance and organising heath check-up camps for the work force in its election manifesto.
