Congress holds dharnas across the State
Responding to the call given by the All India Congress Committee (AICC), Congress leaders across the State held dharnas on Monday demanding the Union government to withdraw ‘Agnipath’ scheme, terming it as disastrous to the country.
“We are with peace and sleeping without any problem because of army personnel on the borders. Congress party has worked with the slogan of ‘Jai Jawan- Jai Kisan.’ But Prime Minister Narendra Modi is working against it. This scheme was introduced to benefit Adanis and Ambanis. How can the government reduce the working period of jawans to four years from the existing 15 years?” asked Mr. Revanth Reddy while participating in a dharna in Malkajgiri assembly constituency. He said that the fight would continue till the scheme is withdrawn and demanded Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to convene Assembly sessions and extend support to army aspirants.
