Agnipath scheme triggers fierce Akhilesh-Anurag clash in House

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav responded to BJP MP Anurag Thakur’s criticism by alluding to BJP’s defeat in the UP Lok Sabha elections and internal discord. Yadav focused his critique on the budget’s lack of infrastructure investment and the Agnipath scheme, suggesting industrialists were pressured to support it and questioning BJP’s employment promises for returning Agniveers.
