Rahul Gandhi On PM Modi: The INDIA Alliance government will end the 50 per cent cap on the reservation and protect the Constitution with “dil, jaan aur khoon”, said Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday while addressing an election rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Bansgaon.
Present with him was Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav.
Gandhi said, “There is INDIA bloc and the Constitution on one side and those who want to finish the Constitution on the other.”
The INDIA bloc will protect the Constitution with “dil, jaan, aur khoon (heart, life, and blood)”, he said adding that the INDIA alliance will end the 50 per cent cap on reservation while also increasing it.
On the controversial Agnipath scheme, the Wayanad MP said that the INDIA bloc, once it assumes power, will “tear apart the scheme and throw it in the dustbin”.
The Narendra Modi-led BJP government rolled out the Agnipath recruitment scheme in June 2022 for short-term induction of personnel to bring down the age profile of the three armed services. It provides for recruiting youngsters between the age bracket of 17-and-half years and 21 for four years with a provision to retain 25 per cent of them for 15 more years.
The Congress leader mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “sent by God” comment as he said that “God sent Modi to help Adani and not the poor’.
Gandhi asserted that the INDIA Alliance would “jumpstart” the country’s economy once it assumed power at the Centre.
