Congress wants to make pension an issue
Let us tell you that Congress-ruled Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and many other states have implemented the old pension. After this, the Congress is also claiming in Madhya Pradesh that if the Congress government is formed in the 2023 assembly elections, the old pension will be implemented in the state as well.
