Congress leader flays Centre’s Assets Monetisation Plan
Former Union Minister and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member Chinta Mohan has said that India has been witnessing uninterrupted crime against women, drug and liquor mafia owing to spiralling unemployment and poverty.
Addressing a press conference in Tirupati, Dr. Mohan said the underprivileged sections were mostly demoralised in the country due to lack of sources to lead a dignified life, and this had forced the youth, and even minors, to resort to crime. He said that instead of axing the roots of smuggling involving drugs, the Central authorities were enacting a drama by grilling film personalities.

The Union Home Ministry has announced a major policy shift for ex-Agniveers, raising their reservation in Group C posts of the Central Armed Police Forces from 10% to 50%, starting with the Border Security Force. Ex-Agniveers are exempt from physical tests but must clear written exams, with a minimum qualification of Class 10 pass. The move aims to provide stable government jobs for Agniveers retiring in 2026, sparking debate on its impact on other candidates.
