Ex-servicemen to take One Rank One Pension battle to poll-bound Bihar

After two days of sitting on hunger strike Ex-Servicemen have decided to hold a huge rally in Bihar where assembly polls are likely to be held in September, in a bid to mount pressure on the Narendra Modi government for implementing the 'One Rank One Pension' policy. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar had given an assurance that the "promises" made would be kept and the retired servicemen should be "patient". The Modi Government has said that it is committed to One Rank One Pension, but it has been unable to implement it till now. Assembly Polls in Bihar are likely in SeptemberOctober this year. BJP has a tough fight on hand against the JD(U)RJDCongressNCP combine. Besides Bihar, the veterans think they are a strong constituency also in Punjab where Assembly Elections are slated next year.
