Permission Revoked for Rahul Gandhi's Prayagraj Event Citing Court Order and Waterlogging
The Kayastha Pathshala Trust revoked permission for Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' event in Prayagraj, citing an Allahabad High Court order restricting the venue's use and waterlogging concerns. Despite this, Uttar Pradesh Congress president Ajay Rai said Gandhi would still attend and urged authorities to provide an alternative venue. Rai alleged political obstruction by the BJP government, referencing similar cancellations of Gandhi's events in Kota and Dehradun. The event was planned to address student issues including alleged paper leaks.
