AGARTALA, Dec 27 (TIWN): CPI-M State Secretary Jitendra Chowdhury on Tuesday reacted to BJP Govt’s DA announcement which has raised 12% DA for the Govt employees from New Year and 12% DR hike for the pensioners. Reacting to the 12% DA hike, Jitendra Chowdhury said, “This is nothing extra ordinary that the BJP Govt has done. It had to be done. The Govt is trying damage repairing after 5 years of deprivation to the employees and fake promises given to the employees. Only half of the DA was given. When 31% DA was pending, only 12% DA was given. Before 2018 Election, Arun Jaitley the then Finance Minister came to Tripura. He was ill at that time. BJP used double-injection to bring him to Tripura and set the lies for the election”.
