Rahul Gandhi in Prayagraj: India's Youth Have 'Unmatched Potential'
A famous Indian leader named Rahul Gandhi went to a big meeting with students.
The meeting was called 'Chhatron Ki Goonj', which means 'echo of students'.
He told them that they are the power and pride of India.
He said India's young people are the strongest and most special young people in the world.
He talked about three things: pain, data, and wealth.
He also said that school certificates should help people find jobs, but right now they often do not.
Many students came to hear him speak even though the ground was wet and muddy.
Before he arrived, rappers from Mumbai danced and performed for the crowd.
The students hope their questions about hostels and exams will be heard.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called India's 40 crore youths the country's 'greatest strength' with potential that is 'unparalleled' in the world.
Gandhi addressed the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' programme at KP Ground in Prayagraj on Saturday.
He spoke about 'dard, data and daulat' (pain, data and wealth) and said education certificates 'have no meaning' because they cannot provide jobs.
A large gathering of students and competitive exam aspirants attended despite waterlogging and muddy patches at the venue.
Rappers from Mumbai performed before Gandhi's arrival, and the Congress held a motorcycle rally in the city on Friday led by Uttar Pradesh unit president Ajay Rai.
