Dearness allowance for Central govt employees raised by 7 percent. The UPA government today raised DA for central government employees by seven percent in view of persisting high inflation, said Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni. The increase will be effective from July 1 2011. What about Millions of people who are doing business and poor people? It proves again that the UPA Government is not for general people , they are only for government employees. Cheap publicity and decision made only to patch up the vote bank. Corrupt leaders supporting corrupt employees!
