Kangra (HP): Congress General Secretary, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said that the Agnipath scheme will be scrapped when Congress comes to power at the Centre. Gandhi, speaking at a rally at Himachal Pradesh's Kangra, said, "What we promise, we fulfill that. In Chhattisgarh, we promised farmer’s loan waiver and it was implemented".
Priyanka Gandhi accused the BJP and said, "Today, employees are on the streets in Himachal and the BJP government stopped the employees' pension. At the same time, today when people are demanding pensions, the government says that it does not have a budget."
Gandhi further said, "Unemployment is increasing in Himachal Pradesh. The employment promises made by the government were not fulfilled. Women are troubled by inflation today. The government started the scheme but could not control inflation. BJP only strengthens itself, they are least worried over peoples' woes."
