The Story in Brief
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event in Prayagraj on Saturday, targeting the Uttar Pradesh government on unemployment, paper leaks and stalled recruitment. The programme at KP College Ground went ahead after the Kayastha Pathshala Trust initially revoked permission citing waterlogging. Congress says around two lakh students registered; police estimate 30-40,000 attendees. Security included 2,000 personnel.
Gandhi said he would speak about 'dard, data and daulat' and called students the 'power and pride of India'. Posters at the venue carried slogans including 'job nahi milega toh singhasan hilega'. Congress leaders accused the Yogi Adityanath government of obstructing the event. Political observers say the programme aims to make employment a key issue ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
The Indian Opinion
The Congress talks of two lakh students while police estimate 30-40,000. One side cries 'throne will shake if no jobs'; the other deploys 2,000 cops for a student meet. Both are busy scoring political points instead of fixing paper leaks or stalled exams. The real test: will any party push for a single, transparent national recruitment calendar that ends the cycle of cancellations and protests?
