Army does not want Agniveer scheme, INDIA bloc will throw it into dustbin: Rahul Gandhi
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the Agniveer scheme will be scrapped and thrown into dustbin if the INDIA bloc comes to power as he slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for «turning Hindustan ke jawan into labourers». In his first election meeting in Haryana for the Lok Sabha polls, the former Congress president also attacked Modi over the issue of farmers.
Slamming the BJP government over the Agniveer scheme, he said, «This is Modi's scheme and not Army's scheme, Army does not want it».
«When the INDIA bloc forms government, we will throw Agniveer scheme into dustbin,» he said at the rally held under the Mahendragarh-Bhiwani Lok Sabha seat.
India's borders, he said, are secured by the country's youth and «There is patriotism in DNA of our youth».
