How do we verify this to be true because I'm just seeing this ratio from you and is quit uncomprehending because i don't no how they came about this amount that was allocated to each of the state, whether it was done based on the revenue they are bringing but however is wrong to do that because they would be indirectly discriminating other state who are not like others in terms of what they produce, actually for me i would have just said they shouldn't do it this way because we are all in one country who are suffering the same inflation and besides the country is wealthy enough to even pay any amount as the minimum wage.

I think if the OP had attached references to other newspaper sources, it would have been easier to verify. But I guess you kinda misunderstood the message because OP is not talking about state allocations here rather the commitments made by the respective state governments in regards to the new minimum wage adoption per state. The federal government has earlier announced that the new country's minimum wage for any individual working in an organized working environment which should include both government and private sectors is mandated to pay its workers a minimum wage of 70k though I can't recall if this is effective to the non-skilled labour's within organizations but the benchmark for skilled workers in any organized working environment was upscaled to 70k and each state decided to implement that new policy with some selected state governments like the ones OP mentioned above personally willing to commit themselves to a higher minimum wage of 80k and above as he mentioned. So I hope you get the message clearly now.

But what's even my concern is these states that have publicly announced that they are going to be paying their workers 80k and above, are they truly living up to their promises, is now the matter to be discussed because for the state where I come from, I have verified the true situation of things and the fact is that some workers in some MDAs have not even started recieving the benchmark 70k announced by the federal government talk more of the additional 10k or 20k promised by the governors and I just see these loud pronouncrments by state governors as a pure political statements as most of them have not truly implemented it but only claimed to.
