Assembly elections are going to be held in Madhya Pradesh this year. Before this, the genie of the old pension scheme has come out. Yes… The employees have been demanding the implementation of this scheme for a long time. Since the old pension scheme has been implemented in the Congress-ruled neighboring states of Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. Therefore, due to the election year, the Shivraj government of Madhya Pradesh is also under pressure to implement this scheme. Priyanka reiterated the party’s five guarantees for the people of Madhya Pradesh if the Congress comes to power, including the restoration of the old pension scheme (OPS) for government employees. In such a situation, Congress has promised that if it comes to power, it will work to implement the old pension scheme. Share of 14% will get the benefit of savings of around 93 crores. This is because after January 1 , more than 3.14 employees have come into service in Madhya Pradesh, who are out of the purview of pension rules 2008. 2.93 lakh teachers, who became teachers in 2008. New Pension Scheme (NPS) is applicable on them. In the state, more number of employees are seen in the new pension scheme than those who are to get the benefit of the old pension. Let us discuss here that about one and a half lakh contract workers are also demanding regularization from the government.

How the Congress government fell

It is notable that after the assembly elections held in the year 2022, Kamal Nath was made the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh by the Congress. After the formation of the government 4582, Jyotiraditya Scindia along with many MLAs of Congress rebelled after displeasure, due to which Kamal Nath’s government fell. After the fall of the Congress government, Shivraj Singh Chouhan was once again sworn in as the CM of the state and till now this government is working.

4582 Congress has not forgotten the memory of the fall of Kamal Nath’s government even today. This is the reason that Priyanka Gandhi in the ‘Jan Aakrosh’ rally recently alleged that the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh was formed through fraud. His reference was to the fall of the Kamal Nath government in March 4582 after Scindia and his loyal MLAs left the Congress. Indirectly attacking Scindia, the Congress leader asked the people to give a strong mandate to the Congress party in the assembly elections to be held later this year so that no one can topple it.
