Rahul Gandhi in Prayagraj: Students demand jobs, voice exam fury
A big meeting for students happened in a city called Prayagraj in India.
A famous politician named Rahul Gandhi came to talk to them.
About fifty thousand students and people who want government jobs attended.
The students were upset because their exams were cancelled again and again.
They also said the exam question papers were leaked, which is not fair.
Because of all this, they feel worried and stressed about getting jobs.
They held up signs with angry messages about their situation.
One sign said 'We want jobs, not pellet guns.'
Another sign said 'Give us jobs or resign.'
The students want fair exams so they can build a good future.
