New Delhi: Janata Dal United leader KC Tyagi made a big statement on Thursday saying that the government needs to review the Agniveer scheme. However, he clarified that this is not a condition for supporting the government but the government needs to think in a new way about the Agniveer scheme. Tyagi said, ‘A section of voters is angry about the Agniveer scheme. Our party wants that the shortcomings on which the public has raised questions should be discussed in detail and removed. As the national president of the party, the CM has written a letter to the Law Commission chief on UCC. We are not against it but a solution should be found by talking to all the stakeholders.’
Tyagi also spoke on caste based census
On caste based census, KC Tyagi said, ‘No party in the country has rejected caste based census. Bihar has shown the way. The Prime Minister also did not oppose it in the all-party delegation. Caste based census is the need of the hour. We will take it forward. There is no pre-condition in this. There is unconditional support. But Bihar should get special status because this issue is in our heart.’ Let us tell you that earlier, amid speculations about the next step of JDU, Tyagi had recently said that he is in NDA and ‘we will remain in NDA.’ On speculations of JDU returning to the INDIA alliance, Tyagi had said, ‘This is our final decision.’

On the other hand, JDU spokesperson and MLC Neeraj Kumar said that NDA has got the mandate in the elections and we will form the government. He said that many kinds of rumours are spread in politics, but we are with NDA and will remain with it. He said, ‘Nitish Kumar maintained the national growth rate with dynamic development. Special status, special package, special assistance, special focus, are our concerns. The opposition may worry about special status in jail, the people of Bihar have already given them political bed rest.’ Neeraj Kumar said that the political crash of the NDA alliance is certain by the next elections.
