Congress: Follow Ashok Gehlot on old pension scheme

-The Telegraph

Rajasthan chief minister has shown the way to other states on how to take pro-people decisions: Ajay Maken

Days after the Ashok Gehlot government restored the old pension scheme in Rajasthan, the Congress on Friday demanded this for the entire country.

Fulfilling a long-standing demand, Gehlot announced in the budget placed on Wednesday that the old pension scheme was being restored for employees appointed on and after January 1, 2004. The Congress chief minister, who also holds the finance portfolio, said that after 2004, contributory pension was introduced under the National Pension Scheme but this had created a sense of insecurity.

Arguing that the Congress-run state governments were emerging as a beacon of pro-people governance, party general secretary Ajay Maken said on Friday: “Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot… in his budget speech conceded a major demand of the government employees by restoring the old pension scheme. He has shown the way to other states on how to take pro-people decisions.”
