Anurag Thakur mentioned that it is a win-win situation for all as youngsters exiting after four years will not only get a service fund package but also jobs in various Public Sector Undertakings.
Targeting Congress for "misleading" the country's youth by spreading false propaganda on the Agnipath scheme, Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting and Youth and Sports Anurag Thakur said on Sunday that the game-changing initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government guarantees 100 per cent employment.
"Every Congress leader is misleading the youth by lying about the scheme which guarantees 100 per cent employment," Anurag Thakur said while campaigning in the Hamirpur constituency which goes to polls on June 1.
Asserting that the scheme allows India's youth to serve the country by joining the Armed Forces, Mr Thakur mentioned that it is a win-win situation for all as youngsters exiting after four years will not only get a service fund package but also jobs in various Public Sector Undertakings.
