He reiterated his commitment to abolishing the Agnipath scheme if the opposition bloc comes to power. Introduced by the Modi government in 2022, the scheme recruits young soldiers, known as Agniveers, on a four-year contractual basis, with 75% retiring without standard military benefits. "When the INDIA bloc forms the government, the Agnipath scheme will be withdrawn," Gandhi declared at a rally in Bakhtiyarpur. "Modi Ji has turned soldiers into laborers. The Centre has made two categories in the Army — Agniveer and the others. If an Agniveer gets injured or martyred, he will neither get a martyr status nor compensation. Why this discrimination?" Gandhi questioned. Taking a jibe at the prime ministers sent by God comment, the Congress leader remarked, "After June 4, if ED asks Modi about corruption, he will say, I dont know anything... I was sent by God."

Addressing the rally, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav accused Modi of failing to deliver on promises and instead focusing on divisive rhetoric. "People of Bihar will take revenge for the lies told to them and the Hindu-Muslim talks. What have they done for the people here? They cannot talk about work. They are talking rubbish in Bihar. PM Modi should have told what he will do here but did not. The issues are inflation and unemployment. PM Modi demeaned the post of PM by talking about Mujra," Yadav said.
