Rahul Gandhi Criticizes System at Indore Event, Highlights Student Issues and Faces Political Pushback
At the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event in Indore, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the current system, alleging it suppresses students who question authority and favors unquestioning supporters, termed 'andhbhakts'. He highlighted issues including vacant teaching posts, school closures, recruitment delays, education budget cuts, and lack of female student hostels. Gandhi named Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, NSA Ajit Doval, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, and industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani as key figures controlling the system. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav responded critically, calling Gandhi's remarks unprepared and unfounded.
