AGARTALA, Feb 7 (TIWN): Opposition BJP continues strive to woo votebanks with 7th pay commission’s promises to Tripura’s 1.5 lakhs of state govt employees. Assam Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma while addressing in Manik Sarkar’s Dhanpur constituency said that after BJP will forms its Govt here in Tripura, after the 1st cabinet meeting BJP will announce 7th pay commission for its govt employees. Recently Union Minister Rajnath Singh has expressed his shocks over Tripura’s employees pay scales, which he was informed with ‘4th Pay commission. “I was surprised to know that Tripura’s employees are being paid with only 4th pay commission”, said Rajnath Singh. Earlier, Amit Shah during his Tripura visit said, "This is really a matter of shame for Tripura Govt who has failed to implement 7th pay commission, when all other states have already been implemented it. If all the state are providing 7th pay commission, why Tripura Govt can not implement it ?"

Recently, BJP State Observer Sunil Deodhar said, "After Amit Shah promised Tripura that in the first cabinet BJP Govt will implement 7th Pay Commission, the govt employees' mood suddenly changed as the employees who are getting 7000 rupees salaries, they will get 17000 per month once the 7th paycommission is implemented. After that the CPI-M Govt suddenly hiked a quantity of the salaries of govt employees".

Pinching at the Give-Half, Keep-Half policy of the CPI-M Deodhar added, "A certain amount of salary hike with BJP's fear means, BJP said we will give the employees almond-laddu and Manik Sarkar from pocket gave only few almonds".

"As soon as the salary was hiked, CPI-M goons attacked the employee and forcefully took the money as party fund", added Deodhar.

"BJP exposed the issue how the CPI-Ms are looting employees fund. When Bijan Dhar was asked, he said they gave it by their own wish. I am urging all the employees to keep the receipts preserved in your home for another month. Your money will be returned", he said.
