Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday said that Agniveers will be given a pensionable job and also appealed to the people not to hesitate to send their sons to the Army.
The Home Minister delivered a fiery speech while addressing a 'Jan Aashirwaad Rally' at village Dhorka Sector-95 in Gurgaon in support of BJP Badshahpur candidate Rao Narbir Singh.
"Every Agniveer will get pension benefits. The Agniveer scheme was meant to make the Army young," said the Home Minister.
Addressing Rahul Gandhi, the Home Minister said that the Congress leader is a 'lying machine'. "Rahul Gandhi says that Agniveer Yojana has been brought because the government does not want to give pensionable jobs. I am telling you that every Agniveer will be given a pensionable job."
He also attacked the Congress, stating, "there was the Congress government in Haryana, it ran on cuts, commissions and corruption. The rule of dealers, brokers and sons-in-law was prevalent. In the BJP government neither dealers nor brokers are left, there is no question of sons-in-law."
It was during the Hooda government that he said the Congress had developed only one district and caste, but since the BJP has come to power, the party started making the whole state develop equally.
"The party gave jobs according to the 'Kharchi and Parchi' system whereas the BJP provided five lakh jobs without any 'Kharchi and Parchi," he said.
The UPA government gave 41,000 crores to Haryana and whereas the Modi government gave 292,000 crores rupees for development to Haryana in 10 years, the Home Minister said.
PM Modi loves Haryana the most among all the states, he said.
He said the Congress could not fulfill the promises that it made in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka. "This is their false guarantee, but the BJP has fulfilled the promises it made."
He said people are raising pro-Pakistan slogans from Congress platforms. "Why is Rahul Gandhi silent? Why doesn't he speak? Congress has become blind in appeasement. Congress and Rahul Gandhi want to bring back Article 370 in Kashmir. Even their three generations cannot bring back Article 370. India's flag has to be hoisted in Kashmir," he said.
He added that when the Modi government is in place, there will not be another flag fluttering other than the Tricolour in Kashmir.
Flaying the Hooda government, the Home Minister said brokers, dealers, and 'damaad' auctioned off land in Gurugram. "A Congress candidate at an election meeting says he will provide 50-50 jobs to his supporters. If they provide jobs to their supporters then the common man from where will he get a job?".
He said Haryana is a state where every tenth man is in the army.
"PM Modi had promised that we will implement One Rank One Pension. Three generations of Congress did not respect One Rank One Pension and it was not implemented. When you made Modi the PM, he implemented One Rank One Pension. The third version of One Rank One Pension has been implemented by PM Modi."
The Waqf Board Bill would be brought in the next winter session, he added.
