The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday accused the Congress of misguiding youths on the Agnipath recruitment scheme for the armed forces while the Congress said the Centre was imposing it on the military.
On Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel’s statement on youth going astray after training, BJP state President Vishnudeo Sai called it an unfounded fear. These youths can be absorbed as policemen in the states on priority basis.
PCC President Mohan Markam said the day it was announced, the whole country got scorched.
Why did the government withhold the recruitment of army for two years and now has come up with a four-year tenure scheme. The youth understand the gimmicks played by the BJP, he said.
