New Delhi, October 27

Congress president Rahul Gandhi today met a delegation of ex-servicemen and promised them to implement One Rank, One Pension (OROP) if his party was elected to power. He attacked the PM for “giving a gift of Rs 30,000 crore to inexperienced Anil Ambani in the Rafale deal, but not giving Rs 8,300 crore that would be enough to implement the OROP”.

“All ex-servicemen said the BJP government has not implemented the OROP. They also spoke about the situation in J&K, the non-strategic approach of the government, the divisions created there and the cost being paid by our soldiers. They also discussed Rafale. And these are connected,” Rahul said. — TNS
