Today, while campaigning for the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly elections, Member of Parliament Deepender Hooda addressed four election rallies in one day in support of Congress candidates. He appealed to the people to vote for them and make them victorious. During the events, Deepender Hooda stated that the public is tired of the lies spread by the BJP. The BJP government had promised to provide employment to the youth, committing to two crore jobs annually. However, after ten years, the country is experiencing the highest unemployment rate in 45 years. The BJP has now abandoned its promises of two crore jobs per year, doubling the income of farmers, and depositing 15 lakhs in every person’s account.
Deepender Hooda mentioned that government inflation has broken all records. Record-breaking inflation and unemployment are affecting every section of society. The prices of diesel, petrol, cooking gas, edible oil, food items, etc., are soaring. Common people are burdened with the high cost of living daily. Despite the international market’s reduction in the price of crude oil, the dynamic pricing policy of the central government does not provide any relief to the common people. He stated that the BJP government has pushed the country into the abyss of unemployment. They replaced secure government jobs with precarious employment through schemes like Agniveer. By implementing plans like Agniveer, which hollow out the country’s defense forces, the BJP is creating a distinction between martyrs. Those who sacrifice their lives in Agniveer do not receive the status of a martyr, nor do they get a pension, gratuity, or medical facilities for their dependents. Not only that, Agniveer soldiers do not receive the status of ex-servicemen, and they are deprived of the facilities given to ex-servicemen. Frustration is prevalent among the youth regarding this scheme, leading many to quit training midway. Through the Agniveer scheme, the BJP government has divided the country’s army into two parts. While the youth of states like Haryana and Rajasthan dream of serving the country by joining the army, the BJP has shattered those dreams. In this disappointment, many turn to addiction, crime, or are forced to sell their homes and businesses to go abroad. Deepender Hooda declared that they would fight to end the Agniveer scheme across the country.
