The government is playing the politics of appeasement to woo Central government employees and pensioners by implementing the recommendations of the seventh pay commission prior to the Lok Sabha elections next year (“Pay populism”, Sept 27). Nothing else can explain its sudden generosity. But intelligent citizens are aware that a great degree of uncertainty is often associated with pre-election promises. One cannot say for sure if all these populist measures will ever see the light of day after the government is formed.
