Akhilesh targets govt over 'unpaid' DA arrears to Central govt employees
Lucknow : Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday (August 7, 2024) slammed the government’s reported refusal to pay 18 months’ dearness allowance (DA) arrears to Central Government employees, and questioned its claim of being a “global economic superpower”.
He also asked the government where is the money from the ever-increasing 'GST collection' going.
"Does the government's claim of becoming a 'global economic superpower' mean that employees do not get their dues? The central government's refusal to pay 18 months DA arrears to central employees is, in a way, a denial of 'government guarantee'," Mr. Yadav said in a post on 'X'.
"The BJP does not pay proper salary to those who work," he added. He said the BJP government is not even considerate to the elderly, whose medical care expenses are increasing but not pension.
"Now does the government want senior citizens to go on a hunger strike for pension? By stopping Railway concessions, the BJP has insulted senior citizens," he added.
