The Story in Brief
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has launched an Instagram “Ask Me Anything” session, inviting students and Gen Z users to submit questions. He said he would answer as many as possible. During the outreach, Gandhi described India’s education system as unaffordable and oppressive, and said every government, including those led by Congress, should listen to students and act.
The Times of India and Times Now report that he addressed protests in Jharkhand over alleged irregularities in recruitment examinations. Times Now says the agitation had entered its 13th day, with six demonstrators on hunger strike and an 11-member delegation seeking talks with the state government. Gandhi’s outreach follows his interaction with students involved in recent protests.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative is that this is either a clever youth campaign or proof that Gandhi has become the students’ sole champion. Neither is established by an Instagram session. His criticism also carries a clear test because Congress is part of Jharkhand’s governing coalition. The state government’s response to the 11-member delegation, and any action on the alleged recruitment irregularities, will show whether this outreach produces scrutiny or remains digital messaging.
