BJP takes on UPA on Sixth Pay Commission

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on the first day Sunday of its two-day national exectuvie meeting, focused on various issues including the sixth pay commission report while setting the tenor for the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.

The BJP president spoke on the Pay Commission, which has allegedly given a raw deal to the defence personnel. “Probably for the first time in the history of India retired officials and military personnel were compelled to agitate against the government,” he said.

Trashing the budget presented by UPA government this year, the BJP chief said that it was prepared to fulfill political objectives and was not based on strong fundamentals. In the same vein, he alleged that the sixth pay commission was presented in a tearing hurry and the aim was only populism.
