Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has punched holes in BJP National General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya’s claim that he would prefer to hire ‘Agniveers’ as security guards at the BJP office.
In a bid to address concerns of ‘Agnipath’ protesters over job security, Mr Vijayvargiya had told reporters that young men who have completed the four-year tour of duty under the new scheme ‘Agnipath’, known as ‘Agniveers’, would get first preference for security guard jobs at the BJP office.
In response, Mr Kejriwal criticised the BJP leader for assuming young people who train to join the armed forces want the job of a security guard.
“Do not disrespect the youth and army personnel of the country so much. The youth of our country work hard day and night to pass the physical exam, pass the test because they want to serve the country for their whole life by joining the army, not because they want to be a guard outside the BJP office,” Mr Kejriwal tweeted.
