AGARTALA, Aug 13 (TIWN): Opposition CPI-M mounted massive criticism of the Biplab Deb Govt after it took a decision about reviewing work-performance of each employee after 30 years of his / her job-completion. It has been alleged that Govt has an ill motive to control all employees under various associations further aiming to send a section of employee to force to take voluntary retirement. It was questioned by CPI-M Tripura unit counterattacking the Govt’s decision, if employees performance to be reviewed by Dept, who will review the performance of Ministers ?On Sunday, opposition CPI-M backed Govt employees unit had protested against the cancellation of pension scheme by the new BJP Govt in the name of implementing National Pension System. At the same time CPI-M also has demanded to cancel the order of Job-review after 30 years completion of jobs of all Govt employees.

A rally was conducted slamming the BJP Govt for its various anti-people decisions which are hitting the common men each day from price hike to job-crisis.

BJP Govt also has introduced 2004’s Central Pension Policy in Tripura for Govt employees who have been appointed from 1st July, 2018 are not eligible for some key benefits.

The decision has been slammed by the job aspirants and newly appointed employees. Amid limited funds, going against the Central Govt Tripura CPI-M Govt had never removed the pension facility for employees, but within 4 months of taking charge BJP Govt even though could not give 7th Pay Commission, neither could recruit people in new posts but it has successfully changed the Pension rule for pensioners so that Pensioners are deprived off GPF and other benefits.

At the same time fuel prices and commodity prices are hike. From Friday the hiked taxes has been imposed on Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and Compressed natural Gas (CNG). Earlier the CNG price was Rs. 41 per kg, whereas it's from now will be Rs. 44, thus 3 rupees above than the earlier. Now, in case o Piped Natural Gas (PNG) it was earlier Rs. 17.50 now it's Rs. 19. At the same time, CNG stations are less in number leading heavy rows of autos everyday in front of the CNG stations everyday. Demand has raised for increasing more numbers of CNG stations. In case of uses of PNG in Govt Quarter it has been hiked from Rs. 22 to Rs. 25.  In the last 5 months, but not a single paisa was hiked for employees or for allowances as promised by BJP before the Election but commodity prices are heavily increasing. With the price hike oppositions are mocking at "Achhee Din" and "Hira" promise of Prime Minister Modi to the Nation and to the state Tripura. It was on July 26 that Tripura cabinet had decided to bring ordinance to hike 2 % cess on Petrol, Diesel, Natural Gas. However, the collected whole revenues will be used in road repairing. Now it's to be seen how far transformation in road repairing comes out with the taxes to be collected from masses. 

BJP before coming in power promised that once it makes a Govt here, wages, allowances will be massively hiked. Social pension will be at least Rs.2000, Wage : Rs. 340 along 7th Pay Commission for Govt employees, but all those promises are still pending whereas commodity prices are skyrocketing due to a constant fuel price hike.
