 "BJP ally JD(U) takes aim at Agniveer scheme, seeks review")
JD(U), a crucial BJP ally, on Thursday sought a review of the ‘Agnipath scheme’ even as it offered unconditional support to the NDA alliance.
Senior Janata Dal (United) leader KC Tyagi said that his party wanted the shortcomings in the scheme to be discussed in detail. It came after Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, who is part of the Opposition INDIA bloc, said that the scheme should be scrapped with immediate effect.
Speaking to the media, Tyagi said, “A section of voters has been upset over the Agniveer scheme.”
He added, “Our party wants those shortcomings, which have been questioned by the public, to be discussed in detail and removed.”
