Chirag Paswan launches Gen Z outreach to ‘counter’ Rahul Gandhi's campaign
Called ‘Youth Bole To’, the Union Minister’s campaign will kick off in Patna on September 24 before moving to Uttar Pradesh; party insiders say he wants to project himself as a major youth leader and is looking to make an impact in the 2027 U.P. election
Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party leader Chirag Paswan is set to launch a Gen Z outreach campaign called 'Youth Bole To' later this month in Patna, Bihar. The campaign aims to counter Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' events by providing a platform for young people to express their views on education, employment, skill development, entrepreneurship, technology, and other issues.
The event will be held at the Veterinary Ground on September 24, 2026, and will feature direct dialogue between Paswan and the youth. Party insiders reveal that Paswan is looking to position himself as a major leader of the youth, with the campaign set to expand to Uttar Pradesh in the coming weeks.
