AGARTALA, Sep 3 (TIWN): As the Verma Committee failed to submit report card within deadline on 31st August, political reactions are now coming from the oppositions. Tripura Congress spokesperson Harekrishna Bhowmik in a press conference at Congress Bhawan said, “It’s not only 15 days or 1 month old Govt but 6 months have been passed. It’s really strange report that a section of Govt employees have not yet received their salaries of last month. It’s not good as across the country Govt employees get salaries through bank accounts regularly. Talks are on air that Govt ordered to hold due payments to the employees and also not to give the pending bills of the contractors and at the same time GPF withdrawals are also temporarily suspended”.“How Govt will solve its economic problem it’s up to the Govt, but Congress is requesting the State Govt to clarify the issues (whether it’s true or rumour)”, Bhowmik added.

“We all have seen recently in media how the leaders (BJP) promised on 7th Pay Commission before the election, but after the Election just they announced Pay Commission, whereas 6 months gone without any development for the Govt employees pay-hikes”, said Harekrishna Bhowmik.

The Congress also hit the BJP Govt on the job recruitments delays saying both Govt employees and unemployed youths voted BJP to power.

It can be noted here 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.

Such promises was given 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, Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, but after 6th months of Govt Verma committee has failed to submit reports on 7th Pay Commission.
