Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi has arrived in Indore to take part in the ‘Students’ Goonj’ program, where he will engage with youth on issues such as education, exam leaks and joblessness.
Rahul Gandhi reached Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on Thursday to join the Students' Goonj event, a forum that brings together students and young professionals for a dialogue with political leaders. The opposition leader, representing the Congress party, is scheduled to speak on a range of concerns that affect the youth, including the quality of education, recruitment examinations, paper‑leak scandals and the growing problem of unemployment.
The gathering is intended to provide a platform for students to voice grievances directly to a senior politician. Organisers said the session will focus on how the current system handles questioning and dissent, and whether it favours blind loyalty over merit.
During his remarks, Gandhi is expected to reiterate his criticism of what he describes as a system that views inquisitive students as a threat. He will likely outline the Congress party's proposals for reforms in examination transparency, job creation and skill development, aiming to resonate with a demographic that feels increasingly marginalized.
Political analysts note that the event comes at a sensitive time, with elections on the horizon, and could influence public perception of the Congress' stance on education and employment policies.
