‘Modi promised One Rank One Pension, now delivering No Rank, No Pension,’ says Tejashwi Yadav

RJD leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly, Tejashwi Yadav, cornered the Centre on the Agnipath military recruitment scheme on Tuesday, asking it to explain whether this was an MGNREGA-like initiative for the educated youth, or there was a “hidden agenda” of the BJP's ideological parent Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) behind it.

Mr. Yadav, at a press conference in the Capital,  announced that the RJD and all its allies would lead a march from the Bihar assembly to the Raj Bhavan in Patna.

Bihar is seeing widespread protests, including incidents of arson and vandalism, against the short term recruitment scheme. Mr. Yadav appealed to the youth to carry on the protest peacefully.
