Congress will ‘compel’ Centre to implement old pension scheme in entire country: Rajasthan CM Gehlot

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday said the Congress will “compel” the Centre to implement the old pension scheme (OPS) in the entire country, asserting that the committee on the new pension scheme (NPS) was constituted under pressure mounted by the party.

He also announced an increase in old-age pension from ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 in Rajasthan if the Congress government retains power in the State.

“Under the chairmanship of Finance Secretary, the Centre has formed a committee to find out a way forward for what can be done after combining OPS and NPS. They formed the committee after we mounted pressure,” he said.
