There is a ruckus in the whole country regarding the Agneepath scheme. Now many political parties have also come out in support of the protesting students. At the same time, BJP leaders are seen counting the benefits of Agneepath scheme. Recently, BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya had said that if I have to keep security after the BJP office, then I will give priority to Agniveers. There was a lot of uproar over this. While BJP leader Varun Gandhi reacted to this statement, filmmaker Vinod Kapri has praised it.
Varun Gandhi wrote that “The great army whose heroic tales are unable to tell the whole dictionary, whose stature of valor is resonant in the whole world, an invitation to that Indian soldier to do ‘Chowkidari’ of a political office, only to the one who gave it. Congratulation. Indian Army is a medium of service to Mother Bharati, not just a ‘job’.” Reacting to this, Vinod Kapri wrote that ‘Thank you Varun Gandhi ji for this clarity!’
People’s reactions: A user named Jai wrote that ‘But what is the use of such frankness which is only on Twitter?’ A user named Shah wrote that ‘I remember the chowkidar sir? This is a scheme to make everyone the same. Everyone was applying this on their DP, so why protest now?’ One user wrote that ‘there is someone who has the courage to call wrong wrong even in this era.’
Jasbir Singh wrote that ‘If Varun Gandhi had been made a minister, then Varun Gandhi would have been praising this scheme and then the instigators and people who set fire to Varun Gandhi would have abused.’ Vishal Mehta wrote that it takes 4 years to win the 2024 election. After winning the election all the recruitment will be over and petrol diesel gas will become very expensive. If BJP wins in 2024. The country will be in very bad condition.
Ashish Aggarwal wrote that ‘O mighty one, before leaving the temptation of membership of Parliament, show the courage to resign from that political party, against which government you stand against.’ One user wrote that ‘Respected Varun ji, sorry for being rude but this is what retired soldiers from the army do. Even today and before. There is nothing new in this. No government has listened to the grievance.
Let us tell you that while speaking on the Agneepath scheme, Kailash Vijayvargiya had said that in America, China and France, the army is recruited on a contract basis. We have a high retirement age from the army. The government has decided to reduce it. Explaining the benefits of the scheme, Vijayvargiya also said that if I have to keep security in the BJP office, I will give priority to Agniveers. As the controversy escalated, Kailash Vijayvargiya had tweeted saying that his statement has been distorted.
