Reminds me of the cheems meme. There are 2 kinds of people in the gym.

First: Riya humko rakeshwa ke liye chorh gayi. (Revenge body)

Second: Mathura aur kashi mein balwaan karsewako ki zaroorat hai
 
Right move, I don't want a 30 year old grandpa working in the military and it's not the tax payer's burden to pay pension to the military. It should be used to other purposes.
 
@minuteman 30 years old are grandpa. 😐

Btw as per my view, this agnipath thing is completely wrong.
This will further increase unemployment and will ruin the futures of so many.
Guys in this age group (in or around 20) are search of any kind of work they can do and make some money. This will attract those guys. They will join the forces when they should actually consider and work for their future. After 4 years of service, they will be left with nothing.

Other purposes like ? Buying MLAs MPs using indirect funneling of tax money to corporates then anonymous bonds in elections ? Or giving Public assets at pennies to near and dear ones ( PSUs, Airports) ? Or first bend all the existing rules for new entrant ( like Jio) , then crumble the market , and give tax payers money again to revive the market players ?
Or maybe distribute money/goodies in elections to gain votes to continue the cycle of "Good" use of tax payers money ?
 
Government can try one thing - Reduce the corruption/middleman commision in high cost defence purchases.
Lots of money can be saved. But but that would irk all the deep pocketeers as well as govt itself.
