This time, the “limbs of the government”, said a government school teacher in Barhaliyaganj, are working against the BJP. “Everybody wants the old pension scheme to be restored but this government didn’t budge,” he said, refusing to be named, on the sidelines of the Akhilesh Yadav rally in Azamgarh on Saturday.
Since Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has announced the restoration of the Old Pension Scheme as a poll plank in 2022, ‘Vote of OPS’, the slogan of primary and secondary education teachers in the State, has meant ‘Vote for SP’ in the U.P. election. The BJP leadership maintained that the OPS would cause an unnecessary financial burden on the government and instead the government would focus on creating new jobs.
