If the Government of Meghalaya is really has a conscience to think over its employees to concede 4%Dearness Allowance with effect from 1.1.2024 then is it not a gimmick like monkey showing a banana ? Is it not cover ups before MP election 2024 ?Meghalaya Government Employees should take cognizance of what the government have done in the past and think thrice before casting their votes whom to vote and whom not to vote. First and foremost to think is : we need peaceful co-existence in the present state of turmoil in India in view of frequent attacks on churches by BJP and its allies. So, ethically vote to like minded party only.
