BJP VOWS TO IMPLEMENT 7TH PAY COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS IN MEGHALAYA

The BJP released its "Vision Document" for the February 27 Meghalaya Assembly elections, promising to implement 7th Pay Commission recommendations for government employees, regularise contractual employees and provide job to every youth, among others.

Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman released the document which focuses on development and also promises sanitary napkins for all women from the Below Poverty Line (BPL) households.

"This document underlines what we are talking about. It is time for change in Meghalaya. This simple message tells you a lot. We are not here because it's election season but we are people who believe that change and positive change require a lot of concerted efforts," she said.

J Alphons, Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) General Secretary in-charge of Meghalaya, Nalin Kohli, Meghalaya BJP chief Shibun Lyngdoh and former Congress minister Alexander Hek, who joined the party earlier this year, were also present at the release of Vision Document.
