Amit Shah promises 7th Pay Commission salary, age relaxation at Bengal rally

At a rally in South 24 Parganas district, Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed BJP supporters, emphasizing the party's commitment to implement the 7th Pay Commission recommendations, which include enhanced salaries for government employees. Shah urged voters to seize the opportunity to support the BJP in upcoming elections, stating, "This is your last chance to do what you want." He also announced plans for age relaxation in government job recruitments, aiming to attract more candidates. These promises come in the context of increasing competition for government positions and the need for financial support for civil servants. The BJP has positioned itself as a champion of employee welfare, seeking to bolster its voter base in West Bengal, where it has been working to strengthen its presence amidst a traditionally strong Trinamool Congress (TMC) influence. Shah's remarks are part of a larger strategy to galvanize support ahead of the 2024 national elections, highlighting the party's focus on employment and financial security for the electorate.
