Employees should get old pension scheme, BJP government at the center closed it, Kejriwal demanded from the central government: AAP

Earlier the BJP government had closed the old pension scheme and now the Modi government at the center should implement the old pension scheme. But the double engine government of BJP is not even willing to give old pension to the employees. The new pension scheme is just a hoax with the government employees. People used to come to government jobs because their life was secured with the old pension scheme, but now there is nothing like this because of the new pension scheme. be applied.
* Both BJP and Congress parties guilty of snatching old pension scheme from employees, double engine government is also anti-employee: AAP
Surjit Thakur said that along with the BJP, the Congress party is also guilty of snatching the old pension scheme from the employees. When the BJP government at the center decided to discontinue the old pension scheme, the Congress government in the state implemented the old pension scheme without any opposition. Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur is adopting a dual policy regarding the demand of old pension scheme of the employees. On the one hand, Jai Ram Thakur talks about forming a committee by talking to the employees, while on the other hand, he is harassing the agitating employees by registering a case. At the same time, the Congress government is misleading the employees at the time of elections. Old Pension Scheme has not been implemented anywhere in Congress ruled states but it is misleading the employees in Himachal
