BJP at odds with its ally JD(U) over Agnipath scheme
Fault lines deepened between the ruling alliance in Bihar on Saturday, with both the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janata Dal trading charges against each other in the wake of attacks on BJP leaders and offices in the past three days during the protests against the new military recruitment policy. Central Reserve Police Force personnel patrol during Bihar Bandh to protest against Agnipath Scheme near Bharatiya Janata Party office in Patna, Bihar, India on Saturday. The JD countered BJP’s allegation by saying that the BJP leader “is not balanced.” “In Bihar, people associated with the BJP and its offices were targeted, while the administration and police watched silently,” Jaiswal alleged. “If only they tell the points of opposition on the scheme, then only discussion can be held.” On Thursday, JD leaders, including party national president Rajiv Ranjan Singh, also known as Lalan Singh, and Upendra Kushwaha, chairman of the party’s parliamentary board, had demanded that the central government should reconsider the new military recruitment scheme.
