Bhopal (IANS) | Before the assembly elections to be held in Madhya Pradesh this year, the Shivraj government of the ruling party BJP is trying to please every section. Government has taken many decisions for half the population and farmers. The government also aims to please the working class in the coming days.
If we consider the number of employees and pensioners in the state, then this number is around 14 lakhs. Of these, 7.5 lakh are regular employees, 4.5 lakh are pensioners, and 2.25 lakh are contractual employees. The government is working on a strategy to appease these employees and pensioners. While there is a preparation to increase the dearness allowance of regular employees, the problem of pensioners also has to be resolved. Apart from this, a big gift can also be given to the contract employees from the government. Discussion on this is going on through the Staff Welfare Committee.
If experts are to be believed, the number of families belonging to 14 lakh employees, pensioners and contract employees and the number of voters associated with them reaches around 60 lakhs. Therefore, the government wants to play a big political game by making the employees happy.
The Shivraj Singh Chouhan government of the state has earlier succeeded in pleasing a large section of women through Ladli Bahna and also attracted farmers by increasing the Samman Nidhi. Now, in this sequence, if any decision is taken for dearness allowance to employees, other problems of pensioners and contract employees, then it can prove to be an election bet.
