Bureau Prayagraj. The massive student crowd at the “Chhatraon Ki Goonj” program held at KP Ground in Prayagraj on Saturday by Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, and his scathing attacks on Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Adani, and Mohan Bhagwat, as well as the RSS, have shaken the foundations of the BJP governments in Lucknow and Delhi, creating a sense of panic within the ruling party. Addressing the “Chhatraon Ki Goonj” program in Prayagraj, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, said that the BJP’s bank balance, which was 150 crore rupees, has now risen to 10,000 crore rupees. The government has trapped them in a vicious circle.

RSS pracharaks have been installed in every institution, including the bureaucracy, the paramilitary, universities, the judiciary, and the media. Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Adani have destroyed employment. Rahul Gandhi said that the data belongs to the youth, the potential belongs to the youth, but the system has trapped those very youth in a vicious circle. The country’s youth study, spending millions and crores of rupees on their families. The system then issues a certificate, but it doesn’t provide employment. Today, only 12 out of 1,000 people get permanent jobs. Their data is snatched from them and given to big companies. Then you are told to create reels and content.

India’s youth are this country’s greatest strength, and their potential is unmatched in the world. He said, “You are India’s strength and pride. The country’s youth have shone a light in the darkness. India’s youth have faced fear and transformed the country. We must change this corrupt system with love.” Addressing thousands of students and youth, Rahul Gandhi said, “Today I want to talk to you about your pain, data, and wealth. India has 400 million youth, who are the strength of this country. Therefore, in the 21st century, the country can progress because of two things: first, the power of youth, and second, their data.” Youth + data = a 21st-century economy. AI is meaningless without your data. AI can be built from data, but data cannot be built from AI.

Rahul Gandhi further stated that India’s 400 million youth are its greatest strength, and that neither America, China, nor Russia can match the potential of India’s youth. However, all doors to employment are closed in India. He also expressed concern about the value of educational qualifications in the country, saying that educational certificates are meaningless in India today because they cannot provide jobs.

Rahul Gandhi said that data belongs to the youth, potential belongs to the youth, but the system has trapped those same youth in a vicious circle. The country’s youth study, spending millions and crores of rupees on their families. Then the system issues a certificate, but it doesn’t provide employment. Today, only 12 out of 1,000 people get permanent jobs. People’s data is snatched and given to big companies. Then they are told to create reels and content. But you should know this: Reels are the new addiction of the 21st century. After all this, young people are told to work for Blinkit and Uber. Do manual labor, make Reels, but you can’t get a job in this country.

Rahul Gandhi said, “The pain is yours, the data is yours, the wealth is theirs.” The entire system is run for the benefit of the BJP-RSS and capitalists. Money: Adani’s income increased 30-fold in 10 years. Power: The BJP’s bank balance increased from ₹150 crore to ₹10,000 crore. Thinking: RSS propagandists are being installed in institutions. They are filling colleges, universities, bureaucracy, and the media. He said that this BJP-RSS system has destroyed jobs, taken over universities, and attacked you.

Rahul Gandhi also spoke to some competitive students on stage at the event. One candidate said, “Rahul Gandhi ji, I want to thank you because you are raising the voice of us students and youth.” The youth of the country are with you. Ever since Yogi Adityanath became the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, paper leaks have been occurring continuously. I can count all these paper leaks on my fingers. Such as: 2017 Inspector Recruitment Exam paper leak, 2018 UP Constable Recruitment Exam paper leak, 2020-21 UP SI Recruitment Exam paper leak, 2022 Lekhpal Recruitment Exam paper leak, 2023 RO/ARO Recruitment Exam paper leak, 2023 UP Constable Recruitment Exam paper leak.

A student leader from Patna said that students were going to hold a peaceful protest in Patna on July 22nd against the brutality against students and youth in Delhi on July 20th. But the Bihar government and Bihar police brutally attacked them. Students were beaten and illegally detained overnight. This continued for several days in Bihar. Then, AK-47s were fired upon protesting students and youth in Siwan, seriously injuring them. We are students, not protesters. Today, the plight of students is such that they must study first, but when a paper is leaked and they protest for their rights, they are lathi-charged. The youth of the country remain trapped in this vicious circle.

Another student at the newspaper program said that the UP government has positions, but it is not recruiting. We have staged protests many times, faced lathi-charges, and submitted memorandums to many, but our pleas have not been heard.
