“The Congress will do the same when voted to power in Gujarat. I have seen his (Mann’s) tweet. He has only said he will consider it. He has not made any announcement or issued a government resolution for the same, nor taken any decision. On the other hand, Congress governments in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh have implemented it,” Modhwadia told reporters.

“The Rajasthan government and our Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot announced during the last budget to implement the old pension scheme. Our government in Chhattisgarh has also implemented the OPS. It is our promise to all the employees in Gujarat who joined on or after 2004 that we will do the same here when voted to power,” reiterated Gujarat Congress state in charge Raghu Sharma.
Hailing Mann’s tweet, Gujarat AAP president Gopal Italia said the Punjab government had “decided to implement the old pension scheme in Punjab”.
