New Delhi, Nov. 5 -- Congress on Wednesday criticised the Centre's decision to extend the engagement period of Agniveers by two years, alleging that the move reflected a "U-turn" by the government ahead of assembly elections in several states and questioning what would happen to the recruits after the extended tenure. "This government is a 'U-turn' government. First Rahul Gandhi says, they don't agree to it. Later they correct," Congress leader Pawan Khera said in a post on X. He added that the scheme was harmful both to the armed forces and the youth. He questioned what would happen to those who were not absorbed into regular service after the extended tenure and said the government would ultimately have to take back the scheme. Samajwadi Party MP Shiv Pal Singh Patel said, "I don't understand what profit is gained by making it four years from six years? Just give them a job for 25-30 years straight, let them become full-time soldiers."...
