Shivamogga Lok Sabha member B.Y.Raghavendra has said the Opposition parties were protesting against the Agnipath scheme for political reasons.
Speaking at a press conference in Shivamogga on Friday, he said many well-known corporate companies had promised job opportunities for Agniveers after their four years of service to the country.
There was no reason to oppose the scheme. The youths would get a salary and the opportunity to study during their four-year service. “The Opposition parties were trying to mislead the youth by opposing the scheme. They are doing politics over the issue”, he said.
