Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Union government over recruiting soldiers in the armed forces as ‘Agniveers’ and said that the defence budget was now being put into the bank accounts of big businesspersons.
Mr. Gandhi also said that the party’s manifesto for the upcoming Lok Sabha election includes a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price (MSP) for the farmers.
He made the remarks in Morena as his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra entered the State from neighbouring Rajasthan. After Morena, Mr. Gandhi also addressed a public meeting in Gwalior.
