NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress, declared on Tuesday, September 20  that if his party won the election in Gujarat, it will bring back the previous pension programme.

Rahul stated in a tweet, "The BJP's repeal of the previous pension system has reduced elderly people's independence; government employees have a right to pensions because they support the country. We have brought back the old pension system in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and the government will soon arrive in Gujarat." Likewise, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, who is in charge for Himachal Pradesh, has said that the party will bring the old pension scheme in the state.
