Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a no-holds-barred attack on Rahul Gandhi over the Agniveer scheme row on May 27. CM Himanta accused Rahul Gandhi of doing anti-national activity. Himanta Biswa Sarma said, “In the Agniveer scheme first you can work in the Army and then go for State Police job, Corporate job or any other job you like. Youth of our country like Agniveer scheme and that’s why lakhs of candidates are appearing for the interview. Rahul Gandhi can’t be in Army, can’t be Agniveer and can’t earn for himself. He is a burden on his mother. Rahul Gandhi is the leader of lies. That is why Rahul Gandhi should not comment on our army. By commenting against the army, Rahul Gandhi is doing ‘deshdroha’. I warn him against it.”
