States, too, prepare to implement pay revisions

As the Centre has accepted the recommendations of the Sixth pay commission, the pressure on the states to follow suit will only grow. The Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, thus, has urged the Centre to bear the additional financial burden It is interesting to note that most of the states in India are governed by the non-congress parties.
Nitish Kumar has sought cooperation from all the opposition parties in this regard. Since the resources of the states are limited, there will be too much of a financial burden for them to bear. The States, too, are expected to bear thousands of crore once they implement the pay revision.'
The chief minister said it would be unfair if the same scales are not offered to the state employees. The recommendations of the Fifth pay commission, too, were implemented by most of the states.
