Congress leader Sachin Pilot said that the government had stopped recruitment for 2 years because of Covid. There are only 1.25 lakh vacancies in the army. He further said that the government is only trying to spoil the future of the people by misleading them.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the way Prime Minister Narendra Modi had to repeal the farmer’s law following the prolonged protests by farmers, the BJP government will also have to accept the demands of youth and revoke the Agnipath recruitment scheme.
Rahul Gandhi further said that the saffron party has insulted the values of Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan for the past eight years. He added that just like PM Modi had to apologize to the farmers and had to revoke the three farm laws, in the same way, he will apologize to the nation’s youth for the second time over the Agnipath scheme.
