“Pension Nahi, Toh Vote Nahi: Pandayan Saheb’s Demand for Justice to Senior Citizens and Widows”

In every galli, basti, and village of Maharashtra, you’ll find mothers who have lost their sons, grandfathers abandoned by the system, and widows living alone, waiting for a ₹1000 pension that never arrives.

While ministers change cars and speeches echo in air-conditioned halls, the poor and old stand in line for hours, hoping to get even one month’s payment.

Most of the time, they return empty-handed.

No money. No answer. No dignity.

And in this silence, one voice is rising — the voice of justice.

R. R. Pandayan Saheb, a leader who refuses to let the forgotten stay invisible.

🔥 “This is not a scheme, this is their right!”

For R. R. Pandayan Saheb, the fight for pensions is not about paperwork — it’s about honour.

He often says:

“When a 75-year-old mother stands in line for a ₹900 pension, it’s not just delay — it’s cruelty.”

Across Maharashtra, whether it’s Aurangabad, Thane, Nanded, or Jalgaon, Pandayan Saheb has led padyatras, dharnas, and public meetings, demanding that:

  • Every widow, senior citizen, and disabled person receive their pension on time
  • Arrears for 6–8 months of pending payments be cleared without excuses
  • Local officers be held accountable for not helping the poor in pension-related issues

💔 The Reality on the Ground

Old citizens and widows don’t ask for luxuries.

They ask for basic survival:

A handful of rice. Some medicines. A little bit of respect.

Yet in thousands of homes, elderly parents are living on borrowed food, sleeping on empty stomachs, and waiting months for ₹1000 promised by the government.

And when they ask, they’re told:

  • “Portal bandh hai.”
  • “List mein naam nahi hai.”
  • “Next month aana.”
  • “Aap eligible nahi ho.”

“The government treats the poor like they are begging. But they’re not — they are demanding what’s already theirs.”

✊ Saheb’s Ground Movement

Pandayan Saheb doesn’t just post on social media or hold fancy events —

He goes where the pain is.

He’s:

  • Visited widows who haven’t received a single rupee in 12 months
  • Helped seniors submit pension forms and escalate blocked cases
  • Sat in silent protests outside tehsil offices until officers responded
  • Led awareness drives to teach people how to track and verify their pension status

And when no one listens, he tells the truth — in full public voice:

“Sarkar agar paisa nahi de sakti, toh vote lene ka haq bhi nahi rakhti!”

(If the government can’t pay its dues, it has no right to ask for votes.)

 

🚨 Warning to the Administration

At a public rally in Nanded, R. R. Pandayan Saheb thundered:

“You have time to pay crores to corporates. But you don’t have ₹1000 for our mothers?

Then don’t expect us to stand silently. We will lock your offices, block your rallies, and boycott your vote-seeking lies.”

This is not a threat.

This is a pledge — taken in the name of justice and humanity.

🗳️ His Message Is Clear: “No Pension, No Power”

Pandayan Saheb is mobilizing his teams under the banner of Jai Bhim Sena to:

  • Collect lists of unpaid pensioners
  • Launch a Pension Nyay Rath Yatra in 30+ districts
  • Pressure MLAs and MPs to take up the issue in assembly
  • Build a public report card to track who is helping and who is ignoring the poor

 

“This is not politics. This is personal. Because our fight is for our mothers, our fathers, our widows — who deserve peace in their final years, not humiliation.”
