Lucknow, Aug 23, 2008: Mayawati announced with great pomp the implementation of Sixth Pay Commission in Uttar Pradesh (UP). But would it be possible for her to implement the 6th pay commission recommendations.
Skeptics are saying that how a state that is in dire financial condition and that has failed to fully implement the fifth pay panel recommendations would be able to implement the 6th Pay Panel recommendations.
Is Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati’s decision to implement the recommendations of the 6th pay panel has more to do with electoral politics than the ground realities. Her government is under tremendous financial strains and it does not seem that the bad financial condition is going to change any time soon.
But electoral politics play more important role in a country like India and more importantly in case of Uttar Pradesh where caste and religious factors make everything more complicated. In Mayawati’s case financial considerations and the bad shape of her state’s economy may not even figure on her priority’s list.
She has a more pressing task. The lady who has single handedly gone on to anoint herself as the chief minister of the most populous state of the country without any outside support has more pressing task at her hand. And that is to win Prime Minister’s post.
And every step the UP chief minister is taking is aimed at fulfilling her ambition of becoming the prime minister.
