Congress Launches Nationwide Students Voice Movement Led by Rahul Gandhi in Kota

New Delhi, June 17: Under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, the opposition leader in the Lok Sabha, the Congress party will kick off its nationwide ‘Students’ Voice’ movement from Kota, Rajasthan, on Wednesday. This initiative will focus on issues such as paper leaks, irregularities in examinations, and rising unemployment.

A Congress leader stated on Tuesday that the campaign will also address other concerns affecting India’s youth and recruitment-related issues. The movement will commence in Kota, where Gandhi will engage directly with students preparing for competitive exams.

Before the protests, Rahul Gandhi spoke with frustrated students affected by paper leaks, canceled exams, and stalled recruitments. He emphasized on ‘X’, saying, “I know you are tired and upset, but remember, when the government refuses to listen, you must raise your voice even louder.”

Gandhi urged, “Let us unite to create a powerful voice that cannot be ignored, starting from Kota and reaching every corner of the country. This is your fight for the future, and I stand with you.”

Announcing this initiative, KC Venugopal, General Secretary (Organization) of the All India Congress Committee (AICC), mentioned that Rahul Gandhi will address student conferences across various cities. Starting from Kota, he will directly interact with students and candidates preparing for competitive exams.

According to Venugopal, the first phase of the campaign will continue with events in Allahabad on July 10, Patna on July 11, and Delhi on July 14.

The Congress party has alleged that repeated paper leaks, irregularities in recruitment exams, and rising unemployment are jeopardizing the future of millions of Indian youth. Through this campaign, Congress aims to unite students, job seekers, teachers, and youth organizations to raise these concerns at a national level.

Previously, Congress shared Venugopal’s statement on its official ‘X’ account, highlighting that under the leadership of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, the party has announced the first phase of a nationwide campaign to spotlight issues like exam paper leaks, irregularities, unemployment, and concerns affecting India’s youth.

Venugopal stated, “As part of Congress’s campaign, Rahul Gandhi will address student conferences nationwide, starting from Kota, followed by events in Allahabad on July 10, Patna on July 11, and Delhi on July 14.”

He added, “These events will include students, candidates preparing for competitive exams, teachers, youth organizations, and others affected by examination-related controversies. The campaign aims to draw attention to the challenges faced by millions of young Indians, including repeated paper leaks, rising exam costs, irregularities in recruitment, and the lack of a transparent and fair education and recruitment system.”

Overseeing the preparations for the Congress program, Kota District Congress President Rakhi Gautam and Kota Rural Congress President Bhanu Pratap Singh stated that the party has chosen Kota, a renowned coaching hub, to launch the nationwide movement.

They mentioned that Rahul Gandhi was invited to Kota during a recent conference held in Pushkar. They emphasized that this campaign will provide a platform for students across the country to voice their grievances and seek solutions to education and employment-related issues.

Preparations for the event are underway, and an AICC team has already arrived in Kota to assess potential venues.
