Nagpur: Union Minister and former Army Chief Vijay Kumar Singh has accused the opposition of inciting controversy among the youth over the Agneepath project as there is no work for them. He was talking to media representatives here.
The Agneepath project has sparked controversy in the country, with violent protests in some states. In this regard, V.K. When Singh was asked, he hurled insults at the protesters. “The opposition has no other choice. Therefore, they are creating controversy before the implementation of the plan. It is being provoked by saying wrong things. The Defense Forces have never been the means of providing a large number of jobs, “said VK Singh.
Also, “There are a number of conditions that have to be met while recruiting here. Out of an average of 40 to 45 youths, only one candidate is selected in the army. Therefore, 25 per cent of the candidates who will perform well in Agnipath will be retained. The remaining 75 per cent youth will get a good financial package. Moreover, states like Haryana and Uttar Pradesh as well as the Union Home Ministry have promised to give priority to firefighters in other services. So where is the controversy over this plan? ” He did the same.
