PM Modi Can’t Hear Anything Except Friends’ Voice: Rahul Gandhi
Mumbai: Amid protests by youths across India against the Agnipath scheme, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of not understanding people’s needs.
He said this a day after the government raised the upper age limit for recruitment under Agnipath from 21 to 23 years, amid protests by youth in many parts of the country against the scheme.
Gandhi cited schemes like GST, demonetisation, agricultural laws and now Agneepath to say that they were introduced for the welfare of the people but were rejected by the citizens.
“Agnipath – youth rejected. Farm laws – farmers rejected. Noteban – economists rejected. GST – traders rejected.
“The prime minister does not understand what the people of the country want, as he cannot hear anything except the voice of his ‘friends’,” Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

The Congress has demanded that the short service recruitment in the armed forces under Agnipath scheme be kept in abeyance and wider consultations be held with experts before taking further action on it.
