As the sudden violence at the Secunderabad railway station stunned the police and locals, political parties saw the protests as a reflection of anger building up among the youth against the lack of employment opportunities and the failure of the Central Government in keeping its promise of providing 2 crore jobs every year.
Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) working president and IT Minister, K. T. Rama Rao, who has frequently criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, tweeted saying the protests against the Agnipath scheme was an eye-opener and acute indicator of the magnitude of the unemployment crisis in the country.
