The Story in Brief
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi arrived in Prayagraj on Saturday for his 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event, accusing the Yogi Adityanath government of failing youth on jobs, paper leaks and stalled recruitment. Organisers say nearly two lakh students registered, though police estimate attendance between 30,000 and 40,000. A pandal built at an estimated Rs 2 crore, fireworks worth Rs 10 lakh and 2,000 police personnel were arranged. The event was briefly thrown into doubt after the Kayastha Pathshala Trust initially withdrew permission for the KP College Ground, citing rain and waterlogging. Congress leaders alleged the state government tried to obstruct the interaction.
The Indian Opinion
The Congress paints youth anger as a sure vote-winner, while the BJP dismisses the event as a costly publicity stunt. Both sides ignore that students want honest exams and timely jobs, not slogans or cheap firecrackers. The real test will be whether either party puts forward a concrete plan to clear recruitment backlogs and stop paper leaks before 2027.
