"Congress Has Nothing To Do, Only Spreads Lies": BJP On Pension Scheme

BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha today told NDTV that wherever the Congress rules, such as Telangana and Karnataka, they always end up making a mess of the finances. Mr Sinha was responding to a swipe by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, who said the U in Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) means "U-turn". "Every morning, they (Congress) come and spread lies. They have nothing to do. The New UPS has been in the works for over a year. Finance Secretary TV Somanathan conducted over 100 meetings before it was finalised. Unlike the Congress, who thinks in extremely hasty manner, and messes up finances where they are in power, in Telangana and Karnataka, the central government takes care before taking key decisions," Mr Sinha told NDTV.
