They tried to mislead youth without knowing the truth.” “There are no changes, the details are the same that were collected earlier. Lakhs of youth have applied to become Agniveers, this shows that the Opposition’s propaganda, especially AAP's lies, has come before the nation. AAP does politics of lies,” he added.
