New Delhi: The 'Agnipath' scheme, announced two days ago, was yet to take off on the ground that the youths in various parts of the country came out on the streets against it. The protest, which started from Bihar, has spreaded to many states including Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Rajasthan.
The fierce opposition of the scheme within 48 hours of its announcement, raises many questions. The bigger question is whether the bureaucrats of the Modi government did any research work at ground zero while making the scheme or they just took it lightly and filled in the blanks? Before announcing the scheme, were the youths taken into confidence? Or was any discussion or discourse done with the youths about the scheme?
