Data Exposure Concerns Raised Over Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' Website

Analysed 21 Sept 2026·2 sources analysed·Kota, Rajasthan, India·Politics
Data Exposure Concerns Raised Over Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' WebsitePreviousNext

The BJP has criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over alleged exposure of students' personal data on the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' campaign website, hosted on his personal site. Reports claim mobile numbers and other details of thousands of students were potentially accessible to scammers. The Congress campaign encourages student registration to raise educational issues, but the party has not publicly addressed the data security concerns. Both BJP and independent reports highlight risks of misuse, while Congress has yet to respond.
