Congress Got A Big Issue For MP Elections, Will The Finance Minister's Answer Become A Weapon In The Assembly?

Bhopal: The controversy over the old pension in Madhya Pradesh has now reached the Vidhan Sabha. Where the opposition party Congress has made it an election issue. At the same time, the government is not looking in favor of pension. On Wednesday, on the eighth day of the budget session of the Vidhan Sabha, there was a lot of uproar in the House on old pension. During the question hour, on the question of former minister Sajjan Verma, Finance Minister Jagdish Deora said that no proposal for old pension is under consideration of the government. Angered by this, Congress MLAs walked out of the house. Congress President and former Chief Minister Kamal Nath also spoke on old pension. He said that the government runs with the help of the employees. If there is injustice with the employees, how will the government run?
