The violence at Secunderabad Railway Station and the death of an Army aspirant allegedly in police firing drew sharp criticism from political parties who saw it as a reflection of anger building up among the youth against the Central Government, even as the BJP claimed that the violence was the “handiwork of MIM and TRS”.
Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) working president and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao, who has been targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi regularly, tweeted saying that the protests against the Agniveer scheme was an eye-opener and acute indicator of the magnitude of unemployment crisis in the country.
“Pehle Desh ke Kisan Ke Saath खिलवाड़ Aur Ab Desh ke Jawan Ke Saath खिलवाड़. From One Rank - One Pension to proposed No Rank - No Pension!,” he tweeted blaming the Prime Minister for playing with the sentiments of youngsters.
