Lucknow/UNI: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati Thursday questioned the central government on the new army recruitment scheme Agniveer in view of the protests by youths and demanded that the government reconsider its decision.

In a series of tweets on Thursday morning, Mayawati wrote, "After keeping the recruitment pending in the army for a long time, now the center has announced a new recruitment scheme of 4 years in the army 'Agniveer', despite calling it attractive and beneficial, the youth of the country are dissatisfied and angry. They are openly opposing changing the army recruitment system".

She went on to say, "People believe that in order to eliminate pension benefits etc. in the army and government jobs, the government is limiting the number of years of service in the army to only four years, which is grossly unfair and illegal. Government is playing with the future of rural youth and their families".

The BSP president further said, "People in the country are already sad and afflicted by rising poverty, inflation, unemployment and wrong policies and arrogant working style of the central government, in such a situation, the uneasiness spreading among the youth regarding new recruitment in the army is now causing disappointment.

"The government should immediately reconsider its decision, this is the demand of the BSP".
