Rahul Gandhi says ‘system has captured entire country’ at Indore event; MP CM calls him ‘careless politician’

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition, recently stated at an Indore event that the "system" has taken control of the entire country. He expressed concern about a lack of students asking questions, stating that the system does not want students. Gandhi highlighted the vacancy in teacher posts nationwide and emphasized that students are the future of India.

At the event, Gandhi engaged in an interaction with students, some of whom addressed issues like a 13% quota in recruitment exams in Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, responding to Gandhi's speech, labeled him as a "careless politician" and said that Gandhi had visited the state "without adequate preparation." Yadav claimed that the issues raised by Gandhi were the responsibility of his own government, citing the UPA government's rule during 2012-2013.

Gandhi highlighted the attributes of a student, including curiosity, love, humility, and honesty. He claimed that only students can eliminate violence and hatred from the country. Additionally, Gandhi mentioned that one lakh schools have been closed across the country, with 55% in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. He also interacted with the youth, including a tribal woman student who urged him to address the shortage of Adivasi hostels in Indore.
