On Tuesday, Telangana Minister for Information Technology and Industries K T Rama Rao (KTR) slammed Union Minister G Kishan Reddy for purportedly saying that persons hired under the 'Agnipath' plan will be taught to become drivers, electricians, washermen, barbers, and other professionals. KTR criticised Union Minister Kishan Reddy, asking if he meant for individuals to join the Indian Army, Navy, and Air Force as drivers, electricians, washermen, and barbers. According to a Telangana minister, the BJP high command is not in the mood to resolve the issues of army aspirants who took to the streets to join the rallies.
