Rahul Gandhi Labels PM Modi 'Most Anti-Youth' in India's History
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being the 'most anti-youth' Prime Minister in India's history. The allegation was made in a video released by the Congress party's media department on Tuesday.
In the video, Mr. Gandhi stated, 'When children raise legitimate questions about education, they are met with batons and detention in response.' He further alleged that 'criminals who leaked papers roam free, while students raising valid issues are dragged around, beaten.'
The remarks come amid ongoing protests by students over issues such as examination paper leaks and educational reforms. Mr. Gandhi's comments are part of a broader political attack on the Modi government's handling of youth-related matters.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has not yet issued an official response to the allegations. Political analysts note that such exchanges are common in India's adversarial political landscape, where opposition leaders frequently criticise government policies.
The Congress party has been vocal in its criticism of the government on issues of unemployment, education, and youth welfare. Mr. Gandhi's latest statement underscores the deepening political divide as the country approaches the next general elections.
