Rahul Gandhi Addresses Education Concerns and Responds to Batman Question in AMAPreviousNext

Rahul Gandhi engaged with Gen-Z through an Instagram ask-me-anything session, responding humorously to a question about being Batman by noting no one has seen them together. He addressed serious concerns raised by students about the education system, describing it as collapsed, expensive, and oppressive. Gandhi urged all governments, including those led by Congress and the Union, to listen to student protests and take action to reform education. The session also touched on ongoing student protests in Jharkhand over alleged exam irregularities.
