Pensions: EC Should Not Be A Paper Tiger
We witnessed the government purposefully complicating the pension distribution process last month, resulting in the deaths of thirty-two elderly persons. The government apparatus worked together to parade the pensioners for photo sessions with congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='ysr congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">ysr congress officials and cadres in front of the media. The election commission prohibited the use of Volunteers in pension distribution. However, CS jawahar reddy is charged with misinterpreting it to mean that Pensions home Delivery was prohibited, which is what caused such a commotion. The first week of May is expected to see even higher temperatures. The government does not appear to be at all ready for seamless distribution as of now.
In this case, the election commission shouldn't be a Paper Tiger. The bjp is also being tested by this. Only a significant development in this case will demonstrate why the party's inclusion in the coalition makes sense.
