KORBOOK (Tripura), Oct 11 (TIWN): By increasing 0.32 factor from CPI-M Govt led 2.25 factor benefits for State Govt employees and pensioners, Chief Minister Biplab Deb has continue to fool the non-employees claiming that State Govt employees have got 7th Pay Commission benefits already.

Addressing in a BJP rally at Korbook, Chief Minister Biplab Deb said to the farmers, "The way State employees have got 7th Pay Commission, farmers will get their benefits when FCI will buy products from the farmers directly. Govt of India gives 2.50 lakh metric ton rice to the State Govt to distribute them among poor through rationing. From where do these free rice come ? From Punjab and other states but I found if FCI buys it from Tripura farmers then it will profit hugely to the farmers of our State".

"In that way the farmers will get 4 rupees bonus and Rs. 200 crores to Rs. 250 crores of profit Tripura farmers will get together yearly", CM said.

"In the same way, employees have got 7th Pay Commission you will also get your right. But the previous Govt didn't give 7th Pay Commission to employees even though it had money. So, just like employees you will also get it", CM told tribal farmers of Korbook.
