"Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the past eight years has arbitrarily imposed several such schemes on the people and put them in distress. We also know who is behind the current instability (Shiv Sena rebellion) in Maharashtra," the Congress' city unit chief Vikas Thakre said.

The Agnipath scheme is not in the interest of the youth or defence forces and must be rolled back, he said.
