It is not possible to give DA at the central rate: Mamata Banerjee

By A Staff Reporter : Agitation of government employees and pensioners is going on demanding DA arrears.But Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee clearly informed from the assembly that it is not possible to give DA at the central rate even if it is killed.She said, "The pay scale of state government employees is different from that of the centre. I am giving 105 percent DA, how much will you be satisfied? Cut my head if you don't like me but it is not possible to give DA at the central rate. Don't get more than that from me. If we don't give pension, we will save 20 thousand crore rupees.'' She immediately poked the BJP and asked if the state would stop the pension.
