Rahul Gandhi Slams Modi's 'Cheap Data' Remark, Calls Insta Reels '21st Century Addiction'
A politician named Rahul Gandhi is criticizing the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
Rahul Gandhi said that when the internet is very cheap, people, especially young people, spend a lot of time watching short videos on apps like Instagram.
He feels this is like an addiction and doesn't help them find jobs.
He also mentioned that the money people spend on this cheap internet doesn't go to the users or the creators of the videos.
Instead, he said, the money goes to big companies like Ambani and Jio.
So, he thinks the Prime Minister's idea about cheap internet isn't helping the country's youth in the way it should.
Rahul Gandhi criticized PM Narendra Modi's 'cheap data' comment.
Gandhi stated that cheap data leads youth to scroll through Instagram and Facebook Reels.
He called Instagram Reels an 'addiction' for the 21st century.
Gandhi argued that this scrolling does not provide employment opportunities.
He alleged that profits from data usage in watching Reels go to Ambani and Jio, not the users.
