NEW DELHI: Ahead of his ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj ‘ programme, scheduled to be held at KP Ground in Prayagraj on August 8, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, said that the BJP-led Central government bends only when the voices rise together.
His latest comment came in the backdrop of the Cockroach Janata Party-led protests over the paper leak controversy, which saw the resignation of then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
The Congress pointed out paper leaks, stalled recruitments to take a dig at the government and said no one was held accountable. He also referred to his rally in Kota, Rajasthan, followed by a major student interaction event in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
“I’m heading to Prayagraj to that city in the country where the most youth prepare. One thing is clear: every student here knows that the system has turned dishonest. There’s no shortfall in your hard work the fault lies in the intent of that system which doesn’t reward your efforts. Paper leaks, stalled recruitments, years of waiting, and no one held accountable. In Kota, students spoke up; in Dehradun, voices rose again; and in Delhi, these very kids were beaten with batons just for asking questions,” Rahul Gandhi said in a post on X.
“In the end, a minister had to step down. This government bends only when voices rise together. Tomorrow, I’m coming to Prayagraj to talk about exactly this. You come too. August 8, 5 PM – K.P. Ground, Prayagraj,” the Congress MP added.
