LUCKNOW: BSP national president Mayawati on Monday compared the Agnipath scheme of the Centre with 'notebandi' (demonetisation) and 'talabandi' (lockdown). She said that the scheme has taken people by surprise much like the decisions of demonetisation and lockdown had. It is a decision taken in haste and is being forced on people.
This has led to furore among those who will be affected by the scheme, she said in a tweet, adding that the government should not adopt an egoistic attitude.
