Till now instructors used to getRs 8,470 per month. Now they will get Rs 7,000 honorarium, the report said.

"The BJP government in Uttar Pradesh is committing atrocities on instructors. Leave alone paying the promised Rs 17,000 per month, a reduction is being made even in the Rs 8,470 per month honorarium," Priyanka Gandhi said.

 

"Does the UP govt have an answer for this betrayal," the AICC general secretary in-charge of eastern UP said.
