KOLKATA: Chief minister Mamata Banerjee asserted that Bengal was the only state where the government continued with the pensionary benefits to state employees.
“Bengal is the only state where the government continues with pension for state employees. The BJP-ruled states have discontinued pension,” the CM said on Friday. The BJP-backed Paschimbanga Rajya Sarkari Karmachari Parishad staged a stir against deprivation of state employees in regard to DA, gratuity and pension by the state government. Leader of opposition Suvendu Adhikari joined the stir later in the day.
