  • It is a foregone conclusion that this govt led by shri Modiji is against giving any benefit to CG employees and pensioners as may be seen from the facts how they have watered down the reasonable recommendations of the 7th CPC. There is no alternative except to express their resentment and opposition to this ruling outfit in the ensuing General Elections which are not far off. All the CG employees and pensioners along with their families and friends should show their strength to see that this party should not get elected. Good Luck and good Wishes to one and all !!!
