Hello Sharad, I have just seen your blog cursorily. I was looking for two things - a) When the UPA2 allocated funds for disbursement of OROP, they must have done against some sanctioned-scale & some financial order. What are these orders & are they in the public domain? ; b) If these were GOI-issued orders, then PM's declarations yesterday, from the Red-Fort, stating that they are 'committed' & 'discussions are at the final stage' area sure 'rethink' by the current GOI - rather it is a roll-back from the 2014-position of the GOI of "SANCTIONED".
