· India · Indian Express, The Hindu
Rahul Gandhi’s 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' student outreach programme in Indore has been postponed from September 12 to September 19 after the Madhya Pradesh government denied permission to use the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. State Congress president Jitu Patwari announced the delay, stating the party is currently searching for an alternative venue. Congress leaders argue that the event is a non-political dialogue focused on education and employment, while the BJP has criticized the event amid ongoing political tensions. The party aims to mobilize approximately 50,000 students for the interactive session.
Why it matters
