Prayagraj: Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee chief Ajay Rai on Wednesday inspected the KP College ground venue where Congress MP Rahul Gandhi will interact with students on Aug 8 under the “Chhatron Ki Goonj” campaign.“The event is a historic conference in state where students, competitive examination aspirants, research scholars, unemployed youth and young people from across the state will participate and directly share their problems, struggles, suggestions and questions about their future with Rahul Gandhi,” he said.Rai said the millions of students, preparing for competitive exams, are fighting for their rights and BJP led Union and state govts are acting as mute spectators.Rai said the campaign began in Kota, Rajasthan and was held at Dehradun. Prayagraj will be the third city in the country where the event will be organised.He made it clear that it was not a political campaign and claimed that Rahul was fighting for the future of the students.Rai said the Prayagraj event would be a major democratic platform for the fight for youth rights, dignity, education and employment.“Students and youth in UP and across the country are facing serious challenges due to paper leaks, irregularities in recruitment examinations, delays in appointments to vacant posts, rising unemployment and the poor condition of the education system. Lakhs of students work hard for years, but repeated cancellation of examinations and paper leak incidents put their future in danger. Rahul Gandhi has been raising the voice of students and youth from Parliament to the streets, and the ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ campaign is an extension of that struggle,” Rai said.Rai also released a poster for the proposed event at AU’s student union building asking a large number of students to participate and interact with Rahul.Rai also visited the famous Hanuman temple and sought blessings to make the event successful.
