Sorry. I disagree completely with all of you who criticise govt employees being given a raise in salaries via the latest CPC. My post is merely in response to the blind hatred towards gov't employees noticed over SM, especially in the latest context of the 7th CPC. Timely, just & commensurate increment in the pay & perks is natural, expected, salutary and the right of all workers.
Many people have commented idiotically that trillions of ₹, all taxpayers money, will be wasted in paying for the salaries of the useless govt employees. First of all it's only the govt employees who pay taxes and because of whom this country actually runs with money as the fuel. Its their taxes which fund almost all of the good or bad schemes of the govt. Yes it's true many employees/officers are sloth/corrupt but still majority are hardworking and honest. By the way, apart from govt employees how many Indians actually pay taxes? Again employees, in the organised private/corporate sector, and they're not contributing more than what the govt employees pay in taxes. Direct taxes are paid largely by govt employees only. Rest of the money generated by govt is through indirect taxes, levies, octrois and public-money invested in big finances. Why this hue & cry when CPC happens once a decade only. And never a pay-hike of more than 1/3 been seen till date. Remember once more, its only a decadal phenomenon, not annual. This year the increment is told to be a measly 24%(average) of the basic pay.
I find it particularly insulting that all govt employees are painted with the same brush dipped in tar, this is apalling! It's not the individual or even organizations responsible for non-performance as govt employees but the political leadership too. Why is that some provinces are better than others in this regard? I'll not take names, it might offend some who belong to such states. And who puts such political leadership in charge? People. Why on an average central govt institutions/organizations perform better on nearly all parameters compared to any provincial one tasked with similar jobs? Coming back to the affront I felt personally, I must tell that my father was a govt employee and sacrificed 26 years of his service(cumulatively, out of 36 years he served) in terrorism/secessionism infested regions thousands of KMs away from home with the family disjointed up and thrown away in various places so that we could just survive. I studied & got trained throughout in 100% shuddh sarkari schools, colleges & institutes and I must tell you all they still are amongst the best in their respective domains, in fact I'm proud of them. My better half had her both parents serving the country in govt jobs and they being fanatic workaholics never took even an unplanned CL till retirement!
And it's only the govt hospitals who take care of the shunned & destitutes apart from the poor, crores of them. What are ONGC, AIIMS, ISRO, SAIL...if not govt? What about Metro, Indian Railways? How do we forget CRPF, ITBP, Coast Guard, other paramilitary forces and the Armed Forces? Why do we forget the ever reliable SBI? I've mentioned only a few who've capture the public imagination while there're countless more who work on and on silently serving the people, society, country and the nation. The problem is not the individual govt worker per se but the govt machinery left behind by abrahamic invaders/usurpers "perfected" over centuries which was designed to harass & harm the natives and to strengthen and serve the alien elite and protect their native collaborators. After "independence" we did not replace the system with ours , still we've come quite a long way. Now let me play the blame game.Most of the Indians themselves are corrupt and lazybones, govt employees are a mere reflection of them.
And all such critics of govt employees must know that their punching bags do NOT even properly know yet what the 7th CPC has offered them. We'll get to know and understand that over a next few weeks, even months, most of which might not be that pleasant or exhilarating. Only the babudom knows better, perhaps because they were the backbone as well as the vanguard of the abrahamic system and their legacy has not got much diluted. Still,everybody in govt is not a babu; the rest want them to be like what the rest are: in attitude as well as action. And even all babus are not what the image their job has in public mind but there's at least one service which is yet to come out of the Laat Sahib mentality, I shall not name them though.
Footnote:
7th CPC might prove costly to BJP in 2019. It'll only reinforce BJP image as anti-employee org exploiting gov't machinery for laissez faire. Vajpayee era did not have CPC but disinvestment, contractual jobs & abolishing pensions cost it 2004.
