Prime minister Narendra Modi has attributed the genesis of the Agniveer scheme to the armed forces in a speech delivered on the occasion of the Kargil Vijay Diwas. The union budget 2024-25 with its push on employment and skilling has inadvertently acknowledged India's unemployment crisis after setbacks faced by the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The opposition has accused the BJP of coming up with a "kursi bachao budget" to favour its key allies JD(U) and TDP with its budgetary prominence to Bihar and Andhra Pradesh.
