Yet another round of talks held between Buggana Rajendranath Reddy and Botcha Satyanarayana, Ministers of Finance and Education respectively, and representatives of two associations — Andhra Pradesh CPS Udyogula Sangham (AP CPSUS) and AP CPS Employees’ Association, on Tuesday remained inconclusive.
“We were invited for talks on the Old Pension Scheme (OPS), but the two Ministers did not make any reference to it and, instead, tried to persuade us to accept the Guaranteed Pension Scheme (GPS), designed by the State government,” said C.M. Das, State president of CPSUS.
He said the government was not ready to restore the OPS, and had ruled out any possibility of its implementation.
