After getting a landslide victory in the Himachal and karnataka assembly elections of 2022, this time also

congress made the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) a big issue. Congress’s biggest bet in the resolution papers of

Madhya Pradesh, chhattisgarh and rajasthan was OPS, which the party raised loudly in front of the public. As

per the strategy of congress, this was the best way to help crores of government employees and their families.

Experts also believed that this promise could easily bring votes to the congress side, but something opposite

happened.

Actually, the results of assembly elections 2023 in MP-Chhattisgarh and rajasthan surprised. bjp got a landslide

victory in all three states. There was congress government in chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. At the same time, in

Madhya Pradesh too, there was a large number of people who liked Congress. In chhattisgarh, congress had even

announced in Bhupsh Baghel's government that OPS will be implemented next time. Notification was issued for

this. At the same time, kamal nath had directly claimed to the public that as soon as the congress government is

formed in Madhya Pradesh, the public will be given the gift of OPS. However, now it can be said that the people

of the three states did not pay much attention to OPS.

congress had given guarantee of OPS in rajasthan also

For information, let us tell you that in april 2022, ashok gehlot had promised to restore the old pension scheme

in Rajasthan. Because of this scheme, ashok gehlot was quite confident in getting the support of the public. In

every election meeting, he considered this as the biggest guarantee of congress and continuously tried to woo the

public through OPS, including 10 lakh present and retired employees and their families.

Pension Scheme will be implemented. Along with this, a notification was also issued here. government meetings

were being held continuously on this matter. An appeal was being made to the central government to send the

money deposited in the NPS of the state employees. However, the Center had clearly denied this. Not only this,
