“Army is not a means of employment,” Army Chief General Bipin Rawat declared in Pune on Thursday, and referring to job seeking unemployed youths, he sternly said that “I want to warn you, remove this misconception from your minds. If you want jobs, then go to the Railways...or start your own business.”

Gen. Rawat—who has reiterated in the past that the military “should be somehow” kept away from politics, however, seems unaware about the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) using Army as an easiest way to raise some quick money ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

After glorifying the surgical strikes and milking it to the hilt for electoral gains, the BJP has now started a social media campaign to crowdfund for it’s expensive election campaign. The party has been asking Indian citizens for donations in the name of Army, using pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi dressed in Olive green.

“Stand with PM Modi for safe and secure borders of India,” reads an appeal tweeted by @BJP4India that shows Prime Minister Modi posing for a picture along with former Indian Army Chief Dalbir Singh Suhag and a group of soldiers.

The post, which is part of BJP’s “Donate Now To Support NaMo Again in 2019” campaign, further says, “He works for them. Stand with him to secure India.”
