In the budget speech, Baghel said that this budget is a strong attempt to realize the basic mantra of Mahatma Gandhi to take the benefits of welfare schemes of the government to the last person of the society.
Demand to implement the long-running old pension scheme
Actually, after Rajasthan, the Congress party has made an attempt to increase the pressure on the BJP government at the center and other state governments by implementing the old pension scheme in Chhattisgarh. Government employees of many states of North India had long demanded to implement the old pension scheme.
Trying to attract the middle class,
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.
