Lucknow, May 16 (UNI) Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government has deprived the youth of full service in the army by introducing the Agniveer scheme in the army and it should be abolished.
Addressing the workers and leaders who came from various districts at the state headquarters of SP, Akhilesh said, "We all are proud of the bravery of our army and the valour of the soldiers. The Indian army is the bravest and strongest and has accomplished its goal during every war. But the BJP government has deprived the youth of full service in the army by introducing the Agniveer scheme in the army. We all are against the Agniveer scheme. The Agniveer scheme in the army should be abolished."
He said that the dream of a one trillion dollar economy will be fulfilled only by promoting small shopkeepers and businessmen. "Nothing is going to happen with those investment summits which make promises to industrialists under the pressure of the government but no investment is seen on the ground and even if a few selected investors come, the BJP agents and officers ask for commission from them in advance, due to which they return disappointed," he alleged.
