Punjab & Haryana High Court Verdict on DA a Slap in the Face of the AAP Government: Dhillon
CHANDIGARH: Bharatiya Janata Party Punjab State President Sardar Kewal Singh Dhillon welcomed the significant Punjab and Haryana High Court verdict regarding the pending Dearness Allowance (DA) and launched a sharp attack on the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab. Mr. Dhillon said that the High Court's direction to the government to release the withheld DA to employees within 15 days is a strong rebuke to the AAP government. He said the verdict clearly establishes that the present Punjab government has been consistently depriving employees of their legitimate dues.
Targeting the AAP government's double standards, Mr. Dhillon said that before the Punjab Assembly elections, Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann had made grand promises and guarantees to Punjab's employees. When Bhagwant Mann visited the Punjab and Haryana Civil Secretariat for the first time after assuming office, employees welcomed him by showering flowers. However, the reality today is that the same government is suppressing the rights of those very employees. He added that the situation has deteriorated to the extent that the government is no longer paying heed even to court orders.
Comparing the policies of the Central and Punjab governments, Mr. Dhillon said that every employee in Punjab now acknowledges that the BJP-led Central Government has adopted far more employee-friendly policies. He pointed out that while the Central Government is providing 60% Dearness Allowance to its employees, the AAP government in Punjab is reluctant to even provide 42% DA. These figures, he said, expose the wide gap between the AAP's political claims and the ground reality.
The State President asserted that the Bharatiya Janata Party has always stood firmly for the welfare and rights of employees, and that the Central Government has consistently prioritized their interests. He appealed to employees across Punjab to recognize the reality behind the Aam Aadmi Party's false and hollow guarantees and support the BJP so that employees' rights can be protected and their legitimate dues are delivered on time.
