Karnataka Invites Tenders for Army Training Program Exclusively for Minority Youths
The Karnataka government’s Directorate of Minorities issued an advertisement inviting tenders to provide 60-day Army training exclusively to minority youths for the 2026-27 academic session. BJP leaders criticized the scheme, calling it misleading and discriminatory, arguing that Army training is not religion-based and that the state government lacks authority in such training. The Congress government has been accused of minority appeasement and using public funds for vote-bank politics, while the state maintains such training is part of civil defense programs.
