The Story in Brief
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said the students protesting in Jharkhand were 'misled', as the BJP and Congress spar over who is behind the Gen Z wave. Rahul Gandhi has stayed silent on the protests, which critics attribute to the Congress-JMM alliance. Arvind Kejriwal's remarks have further inflamed the debate. The protests, sparked by a paper leak, have drawn political reactions from all sides, with the BJP also raising the 'pellet guns' angle. Rahul Gandhi's silence is notable given his outreach to students in Prayagraj, leading to accusations of double standards. The opposition's connect with Gen Z remains under scrutiny.
The Indian Opinion
Both the BJP and the Congress-opposition are using the Jharkhand student protests as a political football. The BJP's 'misled youth' line dismisses genuine anger over paper leaks, while the opposition's hijacking charge ignores Rahul Gandhi's convenient silence to protect the JMM ally. The real test: will any party focus on fixing the recruitment system, or are the protests just another campaign tool?
