With elections just around the doorstep, Congress has pledged that, as soon as it wins the government, it will reinstate the old pension programme (OPS).
The Congress leader Priyanka Vadra stated on Friday that if the party wins the upcoming Himachal Pradesh assembly elections, a decision will be made on restoring the old pension scheme in the first meeting of the cabinet. This was in response to remarks she made last month at the “Parivartan Pratigya Rally” in Solan.
In the first cabinet meeting following the formation of the government in this country, two important decisions—the first being the creation of one lakh new government positions and the second being the implementation of the old pension scheme (OPS)—will be made, she continued.

For the 2018 Assembly elections in the state, the Congress unveiled its initial list of 46 candidates. The party is running veteran figures including Kaul Singh Thakur, Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu, Mukesh Agnihotri, Asha Kumari, and Chander Kumar.
The son of the former chief minister, Virbhadra Singh, Vikramaditya Singh, has once more been nominated from Shimla Rural.
In the first list, the party fielded 19 sitting MLAs from their home districts.
The Himachal Pradesh assembly election schedule was released by the election commission on Friday.
Voting in the state will take place on November 12 and the results will be tallied on December 8.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 44 seats in the last election, while Congress took home 21 seats.
