Finance Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan on Wednesday said Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai’s claims on the Contributory Pension Scheme of government employees were “completely wrong and against truth”. He termed the BJP leader ‘ignorant’.
Mr. Thiaga Rajan said the Contributory Pension Scheme was introduced by the AIADMK government in 2003, and all employees of the State government were members under the scheme. A total of 6,02,377 employees were part of the scheme as on date, he said.
