Karnataka officers will come to understand OPS restoration
There are assembly elections in Karnataka after two months. There also the issue of OPS has arisen. The issue of Old Pension Scheme has now forced even BJP to think. There is a BJP government in Karnataka and the BJP government has formed a committee on the issue of OPS. The members of the committee will come to Jaipur in the coming days. Here OPS will understand the system from restoration.
It is clear from this that BJP can now change its stand regarding OPS. In order to remove the displeasure of the employees in the assembly elections, the BJP government there can take a big decision in this regard. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh also have elections after seven to eight months. In such a situation, the issue of OPS is going to be bigger.
OPS will be the main issue in the Lok Sabha elections
Next year there is a Lok Sabha election in the country. There is every possibility of the old pension scheme becoming a big issue in the Lok Sabha elections as well. At present, the BJP government, which is not supporting the Old Pension Scheme, may have to take a big decision in this regard. In many states of the country, the employees have started agitation demanding restoration of the old pension scheme. In Karnataka also, the employees’ organizations have been continuously protesting for the last few days. In view of the demand of the employees, Karnataka Chief Minister B. Bommai has constituted a high level committee to study the OPS. ACS level officer has been made the chairman of this committee.
Committee members will come to Rajasthan this month
Members of the High Level Committee constituted by the Government of Karnataka will visit Jaipur this month. He will meet Chief Secretary Usha Sharma, Principal Secretary to Chief Minister Kuldeep Ranka and ACS Akhil Arora. Rajasthan is the first state in the country where OPS has been restored. After Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh government also announced to implement OPS. In Chhattisgarh also there is only Congress government. In Himachal too, Congress came to power on the issue of OPS and there also it has been announced to restore OPS. The AAP government in Punjab and the Jharkhand government have also announced the abolition of OPS. Members of the High Level Committee from Karnataka will also visit Chhattisgarh, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Jharkhand after Rajasthan.
This issue is related to vote bank of more than 20 crores.
The issue of Old Pension Scheme is big because there are 20 to 22 crore government employees in the country. In all state assembly elections also, there is a big vote bank of employees, which is against the government, then it is decided to change the power. Employees do the work of creating atmosphere in favor or opposition of the government through picketing and their actions. In such a situation, keeping them angry can be very costly for the BJP.
