Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday urged students and young job aspirants to participate in the “Students’ Echo” (Chhatron Ki Goonj) protest in Kota on June 17. The Leader of Opposition accused the government of failing India’s youth due to repeated exam paper leaks, cancelled examinations, and delayed recruitment processes.
On X, Congress leader said that in today’s India, young people are being “punished for daring to dream” and that hard work no longer guarantees success. He described every paper leak, cancelled examination, and stalled recruitment drive as a systemic failure and a blow to the dreams of millions of students and job seekers.
Acknowledging the frustration and anger among the youth, he said that when the government refuses to listen, people must raise their voices louder. He urged students to come together in Kota and make their concerns impossible to ignore.
“Let’s come together and become a roar that can’t be ignored. Starting from Kota, then reaching every corner of the country,” Gandhi said, calling the campaign as a fight for the future of India’s youth.
The Congress has made examination irregularities, paper leaks, and delays in government recruitment a major political issue, holding the Central government accountable for the problems faced by students and job aspirants. Rahul Gandhi affirmed that he stands firmly with the students in their struggle for fair opportunities and employment.
The protest is scheduled to take place on June 17 at Shri Ram Rangmanch, Dussehra Maidan in Kota, marking the launch of the nationwide outreach campaign titled “Save Education, Save Your Future.”
Following its Kota debut, the campaign will continue its journey across the country with events planned in Allahabad on July 10, Patna on July 11, and Delhi on July 14.
