The HinduWorkers in Surat’s famous diamond cutting and polishing sector, reeling under the twin problems of unemployment and low wages amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict that has snapped the supply of rough stones, appear to be looking at the Aam Aadmi Party’s manifesto with interest. At Gayatri Society, a hub for cutting and polishing units in the ‘diamond city’ and an area which falls under the Varaccha Road Assembly segment, a large section of workers are tilting towards the new entrant. “The AAP, hitherto insignificant in Gujarat, has made promises that speak to the heart of diamond workers here,” Shaileshbhai Malani, who was busy polishing a tiny diamond in a workshop on the second floor of a building, said. They are not getting calls due to lack of work orders,” he said Recently, the AAP’s Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha held a meeting with workers and said that workers in the diamond industry could make a difference.
