Rahul Gandhi urges students to join protest in Kota on June 17

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday appealed to students and job aspirants to join the 'Students Echo' protest scheduled for June 17 in Kota, Rajasthan. He accused the government of repeatedly leaking exam papers, cancelling examinations, and delaying government recruitment drives, which he said were affecting the future of the country's youth.

Gandhi stated that in today's India, young people are being penalised for dreaming big, and that hard work no longer guarantees success. He characterised exam leaks, cancelled tests, and stalled recruitment processes not merely as administrative failures, but as systemic collapse that damages the aspirations of millions of students and job seekers.
