Youth will rise to defend the Republic, says Aishe Ghosh at DYFI State Conference in Keralam

Aishe Ghosh, leader of the Students’ Federation of India, warned at the DYFI State Conference in Keralam that the youth of the nation would unite to defend the Constitution and democracy against the BJP-RSS government's "anti-student and anti-youth" policies. She criticized the BJP and RSS for attempting to push a "communal and divisive agenda" into educational institutions and youth spaces, accusing the Union government of weakening education through budget cuts and failing to create employment opportunities.

Ghosh pointed out that the BJP had made false promises of "Achhe Din", two crore jobs a year, a "Viksit Bharat", and "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao" during election campaigns, but claimed the last 12 years had seen policies that harmed students and young people. She highlighted the recent protests at Jantar Mantar, which proved the power of collective action, and warned that resistance against the government's policies would continue.

The DYFI conference came at a critical moment, and Ghosh called for young people to organize around an alternative political vision based on constitutional, democratic, and secular values.
