Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has worked hard in the election field for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. The party is claiming that it is going to win power for the third time in a row. Meanwhile, Union Minister and veteran leader of the party Anurag Thakur has attacked the Bharat Alliance. Along with this, he has also expressed his opinion on the statement made by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi regarding Agneepath Yojana. In fact, during a visit to Himachal Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi said that if he comes to power, he will stop the Agneepath scheme.
In an interview given to news agency ANI, the BJP leader hit out at Congress and said, 'Congress is a party that takes commission in defense deals. Jeep scam, Bofors scam, AgustaWestland scam, submarine scam and many other scams have been done by Congress. What can be expected from the Congress which has not bought a bulletproof jacket or even a fighter aircraft in 10 years and finally wrote that there should be a re-investigation. He was sleeping for 10 years. Money and commission would not have been received, so it would not have been bought. These accusations have always been leveled at the Congress.
'Firefighters to get reserve in Central Reserve Forces'
He said, 'The question arises that the Congress has not given one rank, one pension till 40. After this Modi government came and gave 1 lakh 20 thousand crore rupees. Those who used to get 2500 rupees pension are getting more than 25 thousand rupees today. Now let's talk about Agniveer, suppose 100 people are recruited. All will have to serve in the army for four years and after four years 25 will remain in the army and 75 will get around 20 lakh rupees in addition to salary. After this they will be eligible for Central Reserve Force. In this they will be given 10 to 20 percent reservation so that they can get employment.
It takes youthful energy to climb mountains - Anurag Thakur
Anurag Thakur further said that, 'Agnveer can also be recruited in the state police. BJP has 18 states where police jobs can be found. Employment can also be found in Central Public Sector Enterprises. Agniveer has 100% employment guarantee. The government has taken a good step and brought Agniveer Yojana. It will also reduce the average age of our army. Giving an example, Thakur said that the soldiers going to Tiger Hill are the youngest. A youth force is needed to climb the mountain. This is the situation all over the world and in Kargil the youth of Himachal have been martyred the most.
