A war of words took place between Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and BJP MP Anurag Thakur over the Agnipath scheme in Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
Speaking during a discussion on the Union Budget in Lok Sabha, Yadav accused the government of initially orchestrating supportive tweets from major industrialists to promote the Agnipath scheme.
“When the Agniveer scheme was first introduced, prominent industrialists were made to tweet that there was no better plan and that they would offer jobs to Agniveers. Perhaps the government remembers this because it admits that the scheme is not right, which is why they are asking their state governments to provide quotas and jobs for returning Agniveers,” Yadav stated, challenging the members on the treasury benches to stand up and declare the scheme beneficial.
