The Congress stated the decision was an influence of the Bharat Jodo Yatra and was announced a day before Rahul Gandhi’s yatra entered Delhi, a day after the Union Cabinet approved the adjustment of the One Rank One Pension system for Indian Army veterans. According to Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh, Rahul Gandhi met with ex-servicemen on December 21 in Haryana and supported their demand, prompting the government to announce the decision.
Shehzad Poonawala, a BJP spokeswoman, criticized Jairam Ramesh and suggested that the party rename its Bharat Jodo Yatra as the ‘Credit Le Lo Yatra,’ because Jairam Ramesh demands credit for everything. “Instead, Congress should take credit for refusing OROP for 43 years, as well as depriving Jawans Rafales and bulletproof jackets,” Poonawalla remarked.
As the heated exchange continued, Jairam Ramesh stated that the UPA government proclaimed one Rank One Pension on February 26, 2014, and that it has yet to be implemented by the BJP government. “The Bharat Jodo Yatra will continue to successfully promote our ex-voices. servicemen’s We are dedicated to implementing OROP in accordance with the directions of the UPA government “According to Jairam Ramesh.
“Sarkar petitioned the Supreme Court four times for an extension to execute the modification of ex-pensions servicemen and settle their pension arrears. As recently as December 14, 2022, at 4 p.m., when the extension to adopt modification was set to expire on December 15, 2022, the government submitted a Miscellaneous Application to avoid the issue and purchase more time until March 15, 2023 “According to Jairam Ramesh.
According to the Union Cabinet resolution, 25.13 lakh Army pensioners will benefit from the enhanced rate of pension and arrears will be paid beginning in 2019.
