Mohol Criticizes Rahul Gandhi’s Pune Student Outreach Campaign
Rahul Gandhi held a student outreach event called “Chhatron Ki Goonj” in Pune.
He spoke about the abilities and dreams of women in India.
He said women are one of the country’s biggest strengths.
Union minister Murlidhar Mohol criticized the event.
Mohol said it would not make a real difference.
He also alleged that people were paid to attend and influencers were paid to promote it.
These allegations were made by Mohol and were not independently established in the report.
The two politicians therefore presented very different views of the programme.
Union minister Murlidhar Mohol said Rahul Gandhi’s “Chhatron Ki Goonj” programme in Pune would not achieve anything.
Mohol said Gandhi’s nationwide touring had produced no real impact and praised work carried out under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mohol alleged that money was distributed to bring people to the programme and that influencers were paid.
Rahul Gandhi said India’s greatest strength is the women of the country and their unique dreams and potential.
Gandhi made the remarks while addressing the student outreach programme in Pune on Saturday.
