Members of the Andhra Pradesh United Teachers’ Federation (APUTF) have launched an indefinite strike demanding restoration of the Old Pension Scheme, at the UTF State office in Vijayawada on Wednesday.
They said Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had reneged on his promise of repealing Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) and replacing it with OPS, made to them during his padayatra before the 2019 elections.
They said in the 2024 elections, the teachers would only support those who would promise them to restore OPS.
