AGARTALA, Sep 2 (TIWN): Tripura’s over 2 Lakhs Govt employees & contractual staffs are under deep frustration after being cheated by BJP’s delay game via Verma Committee’s postponement of 7th Pay Commission implementation. Neither the Chief Minister nor Law or Finance Minister has given any Statement behind Govt’s major failure to implement 7th Pay Commission on the 6th months of the completion of BJP is in power. Before the Tripura Assembly Election, in election rally, BJP National President Amit Shah clearly said with his tall voice, “On March 3rd BJP will come in power and on March 4th, Tripura’s Govt employees and pensioners will get 7th Pay Commission”.

“We want to change, we want to work for the people. Give your vote for lotus on February 18, BJP will win on March 3rd and employees will get 7th Pay Commission of March 4”, said Amit Shah in his election rallies ahead of Assembly Election. It was said by each and every BJP leaders inside and outside the state that in the first cabinet meeting 7th pay commission will be given, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

However, after 1st cabinet meeting, Govt  announced 7th Pay Commission like terms can’t be propagated as election at Charilam constituency was left yet. Soon, Biplab Deb announced about Verma Committee which will place a report on 7th Pay Commission and Deb also mentioned, it should not take more than a month  but after 6th months of Govt Verma committee has failed to submit reports whereas Central Govt has increased DA for the employees.

Based on these Jumla promises, pre-poll tall promises of BJP are now turning heavy upon the BJP led State Govt as after 6 months of passage, the Govt failed to implement 7th Pay Commission for Employees and Pensioners.

Apart from Amit Shah, before the Election, Assam Minister cum Tripura BJP-inchargeHimantaBiswaSarma asked people “Don’t vote for BJP and create such a situation that BJP can’t win in 2019 MP-election if it failed to give 7th Pay Commission”.Questions are raising, why Central Govt has failed to allocate 7th pay Commission’s fund to the Tripura Govt ?

Both in State and Centre, ruling parties are now same. If this is the result of same Govt’s ruling in State and Centre, then it’s all clear that Modi Govt deprived Tripura Employees, Pensioners under Manik Sarkar’s Govt and the previous CPI-M Govt’s claims about Central-deprivation was not totally fake allegation.

Before the election, BJP President Amit Shah said BJP-govt will implement 7th Pay Commission from March 4 if voted to power.

Then HimantaBiswaSarma said, “We’ll give 7th pay commission surely or don’t vote for us in MP-election”.

Not only this, HimantaBiswaSarma further asked media, “Create such a situation so that we (BJP) can’t win the Lok Sabha election, if we don’t fulfill promises of Vision Document”.

Now people are suspecting the “Verma-Committee” itself was Jumla since the first cabinet meeting.
