The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday hit out at the Congress, asking why it has not implemented its promise of bringing back the old pension scheme in Himachal Pradesh and other states where it is in power.
Addressing a press conference at BJP headquarters, New Delhi, senior party leader Ravi Shankar Prasad hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the decision to bring a unified pension scheme (UPS) for central government employees. Prasad slammed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his U-turn jibe at the Centre. Prime Minister Modi is “sensitive” to public issues and takes decisions in the public interest after careful consideration, he added.
