“Government of India under PM Narendra Modi has been paying full salary and pension to its employees and senior citizens, even during #Covid19 pandemic,” the info-graph said.
“Before criticizing the Central government the Congress leadership should first have a look at how the state Governments run by it or other non BJP parties are ordering deduction/deferment of salary to its employees taking the excuse of the corona,” it added.
