'Delay in salary and allowances is a pretense of the government'
Jairam Thakur said that the delay in salary and allowances of the Chief Parliamentary Secretaries along with the ministers is a pretense of the Chief Minister. More than six crores have been spent on lawyers in delhi to save the unconstitutional appointment of the Chief Parliamentary Secretaries. He said that the state government is adopting a double standard. Chief Parliamentary Secretaries are provided with facilities like bungalow, car and assistant. He said that delay in salary and allowances is an excuse. This excuse is being made to avoid paying pending DA and arrears of the employees. He said that the government may express its inability to pay salary to the employees in the coming days.
