Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole. State Congress chief Nana Patole has written to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray that the old pension scheme must be started for government employees.
State employees do not want the self contributory pension scheme as returns work out much lesser than the old scheme, he said.
