Government employees of many states of North India had long demanded to implement the old pension scheme.

this scheme was to be implemented in Chhattisgarh before Rajasthan, but due to the increased busyness of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel as a senior observer in the UP elections, the assembly session of the state started late from February to March.
In the meantime, an announcement was made to implement the old pension scheme in Rajasthan. If sources are to be believed, the Congress High Command believes that the old pension scheme will attract more middle class.
