Improvement is necessary from time to time: CM Yogi
On the issue of reservation on Agniveer, CM Yogi said, ‘Reforms done from time to time are necessary to establish new paradigms of progress and prosperity for any country and society. Under the leadership of PM Modi, many steps have been taken in the last 10 years and reforms have been made in every sector to give a respectable position to our economy and establish India as the fifth largest global economy.
He said, ‘We need to give equal importance to national security. With this reform the armed forces have also moved forward. Today the Indian Armed Forces are equipped with state-of-the-art fighter aircraft. Defense manufacturing corridors are being developed in UP and Tamil Nadu. The Agniveer scheme has been taken forward to ensure that our armed forces can move forward at this pace with this reform. There is enthusiasm in the minds of the youth. Under the Agneepath scheme, 10 lakh Agniveer are coming forward to provide their services.
Taking aim at the opposition, Yogi Adityanath said, ‘It is their (opposition’s) job to obstruct everything related to reform, progress and prosperity. They do this continuously. The opposition tried to mislead people on this matter. I think we should move forward on armed forces reform considering national security supreme.
