Kejriwal raised the issue of implementation of OPS with central government : AAP
Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Pankaj Pandit surrounded Jairam Sarkar on the issue of implementation of Old Pension Scheme to the employees. Pankaj Pandit said that the issue of giving old pension scheme to the employees was raised by the Aam Aadmi Party from the national level to Himachal as well. AAP has given guarantee to give old pension scheme to the employees. Under the pressure of the Aam Aadmi Party, the Chief Minister of the state Jai Ram Thakur is now saying about the old pension scheme after five years that Modi is to be possible. For the last five years, the BJP had a double engine government at the Center and in the state, but Chief Minister Jairam did nothing for five years. Now, fearing defeat in the upcoming assembly elections, while giving a statement on OPS, he is saying that Modi hai to mumkin hai. Which proves that there is pressure on the government to give a seven-day ultimatum by the Aam Aadmi Party regarding the Old Pension Scheme.
Pankaj Pandit said that Kejriwal, the convener of the Aam Aadmi Party, had first demanded from Prime Minister Modi to give the old pension scheme to the employees. Kejriwal said that the old pension scheme was closed by the BJP government at the Center in 2004 and now the BJP government should decide to give the old pension scheme. Aam Aadmi Party has given guarantee to give old pension scheme to the employees of Himachal. After the formation of the Aam Aadmi Party government in the state, first of all the employees will be given the benefit of the Old Pension Scheme. The incompetent Jairam government of the state did not give anything to the employees for five years. The employees of the state have been agitating for two years regarding the Old Pension Scheme. The employees are sitting on a continuous hunger strike. Jairam Sarkar has done the work of harassing the employees demanding the old pension scheme. Employees have been transferred and intimidated and cases have been registered. Now Jairam is reminded of the old pension scheme for the employees at the time of elections. The employees of the state have faith in the guarantee of the Aam Aadmi Party. She is not going to believe in BJP’s electoral gimmicks. The people of the state have made up their mind to change the power. After the formation of the Aam Aadmi Party government in the state, first of all, the guarantee of implementing the Old Pension Scheme to the employees will be fulfilled.
