Congress secretary Dr Vineet Punia on Thursday said that there was good coordination and understanding among the members of opposition INDIA bloc, but the BJP was creating an opposite narrative about the alliance, reported the PTI.


According to the PTI, Dr Vineet Punia said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was doing so it as knows that people like the INDIA grouping.


Dr Vineet Punia was addressing a press conference to give information about the Congress's 'Jai Jawan' campaign that was launched by party leader Rahul Gandhi last week with an aim to provide "justice" to 1.5 lakh youth in the country who were selected for defence services but "not allowed" to join after the launch of the Agnipath scheme, as per the PTI.


When asked about the allegation of discord among the INDIA allies, the Congress functionary said, "This is BJP's narrative, which it is creating deliberately," the PTI reported.

"The constituents of the INDIA bloc have good coordination and understanding among themselves. There is no problem among them. When discussions happen, it is natural that partners would ask for more opportunities and there is nothing wrong in it. It does not mean that the allies are against each other," he said, the news agency reported on Thursday.

"BJP is getting desperate and its efforts are in desperation. Whatever they are doing reflects their insecurities. They themselves know they are not on a sound wicket. They know that people, farmers and youth are not happy with them. They are only playing with this narrative that there is no alternative. But basically they know themselves that INDIA is a real organisation and people are liking it," Dr Vineet Punia added, as per the PTI.

Talking about the 'Jai Jawan' campaign, he alleged that the Narendra Modi government has shattered the dreams of 1.5 lakh youths who had cleared gruelling mental and physical tests for regular recruitment in defence forces.

"Congress demands that the jobs that were snatched away from 1.5 lakh young men and women when the Agnipath scheme was introduced be returned to them and the previous recruitment system for armed forces be restored," Dr Vineet Punia said.
