Rahul Gandhi Slams Govt Over Unemployment at Prayagraj 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' Event


Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, addressed the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' (Voice of Students) event at the KP Ground in Prayagraj. During his address, he launched a sharp critique of the central and state governments, stating that "all doors of employment are closed in India" for the youth.

Key highlights surrounding the event and his address include:

  • Focus on Job Crisis and Paper Leaks: Gandhi targeted the administration over systemic failures, highlighting recurring issues like examination paper leaks, skyrocketing coaching fees, and shrinking career opportunities for young job aspirants.

  • The 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' Campaign: The Prayagraj event is a major leg of the Congress party's nationwide student outreach initiative—following similar large-scale interactions in Kota (Rajasthan) and Dehradun (Uttarakhand)—aimed at consolidating youth grievances over unemployment and educational irregularities.

  • Venue Controversy: The event initially faced political uncertainty after the Kayasth Pathshala (KP) Trust briefly revoked permission for the venue citing high court directives and academic concerns, leading to sharp protests from Congress leaders.

    However, the restriction was subsequently lifted with conditions, allowing the massive student rally to proceed as scheduled.
