Rahul Gandhi Accuses Modi Government of Destroying Education System
Rahul Gandhi, a leader from the Congress party, has accused the Modi government of ruining India's education system.
He says the system is unfair and too expensive, and there have been many exam paper leaks with no one being punished.
Gandhi supports students who are protesting and demands that the Education Minister step down and the Prime Minister apologize.
He also mentioned that families spend a lot of money on exams, and after getting an education, students find it hard to get jobs.
The police have been harsh on protesting students, which Gandhi thinks is wrong.
He and other leaders were detained by the police after they protested outside the Prime Minister's house.
Rahul Gandhi accuses the Modi government of destroying India's education system, calling it rigged and unaffordable.
He supports student protests demanding the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Gandhi highlights 152 exam paper leaks in the last decade, affecting 7.5 crore students, with zero convictions.
He criticizes police action against students during the 'Sansad Chalo' protest, stating they are not terrorists but seeking a fair education system.
Gandhi notes the high annual exam expense for families (Rs 1.32 lakh crore) and the lack of job opportunities post-education.
