AAP Criticizes Rahul Gandhi's Protest Amid Student Movement and Political Tensions
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's protest near Prime Minister Modi's residence, alleging it undermined the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) student movement. AAP leaders suggested a tacit understanding between BJP and Congress, while BJP accused AAP of sponsoring the CJP protest. Meanwhile, Congress supported student protests over exam paper leaks but avoided fully endorsing the CJP movement to maintain political control. Rahul Gandhi led a separate sit-in demanding ministerial resignations and was detained by police during the demonstration.
