Kolkata, Ta. Wednesday, June 29, 2022

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has once again questioned the 'Agneepath' scheme. Mamata Banerjee called Agnivero a Bharatiya Janata Party activist. At the same time he forbade firefighters to give priority to jobs.

Mamata Banerjee was responding to a letter from the Center. Earlier, Mamata Banerjee had alleged that the BJP wanted to create an armed cadre through the Agneepath scheme.

During a function, Chief Minister Banerjee said, "I have received a letter (from the Center) in which he has requested the state government to give jobs to the firefighters after 4 years. They want me to give jobs to BJP workers ... why should we do that? .. the first priority will be given to the youth of the region. '

The Agneepath project was called a garbage can

Mamata Banerjee had earlier targeted the BJP over the Agneepath project. Regarding the Centre's letter, Mamata Banerjee said, "A Colonel of the Armed Forces recently sent me a letter with such a request. But why should we clean the BJP's rubbish bin? When the Center leaves him after 4 years, why should the state take up the responsibility of giving him a full-time job? Why doesn't the Center take up the responsibility of giving him a full term as a soldier till he completes 60 years? '

The Agneepath project was called Lollipop

Trinamool Congress president Mamata Banerjee also called the Agneepath scheme a BJP's lollipop for gathering votes and creating thugs and cadres.
