Members said that the DMK in its election manifesto promised to revert to the old pension scheme if elected to power. However, after 20 months, the government is yet to make an announcement. “We believe that announcement will be made in the State Budget. But, we were disappointed,” said the members who blamed the government for failing to fulfil its poll promises. Except for increasing the housing loan for government employees, no announcements were made to fulfil their demands in the Budget.
Members said that when more than three lakh vacancies were yet to be fulfilled in the government departments, the government had passed orders to fill vacancies through outsourcing. “The government is acting against the interest of employees” they said. Members abstained from work and staged protests in front of the offices.
