Rahul Gandhi’s Indore Student Programme Awaits Formal Permission
Rahul Gandhi’s Congress party plans a student-focused programme in Indore on September 19.
The programme is called ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj.’
Congress says it has received permission by word of mouth, but the written approval has not arrived yet.
The party has paid Rs 10.08 lakh to use land near Regional Park for three days.
Congress says the meeting will discuss education problems, exam scams and paper leaks.
The party previously asked to use Nehru Stadium, but that request was refused.
Congress workers are visiting students and encouraging them to register for the event.
They also brought attention to waterlogging in Musakhedi.
Congress says it has received oral approval for Rahul Gandhi’s September 19 ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ programme, but formal permission is pending.
Congress deposited Rs 10.08 lakh with the Indore Development Authority for a three-day lease of nearly 12,000 square metres opposite Regional Park.
State Congress president Jitu Patwari said the event would be held on the road if permission was denied and described it as focused on education issues.
The programme was moved from September 12 after permission for Nehru Stadium was denied.
Congress workers led by former MLA Satyanarayan Patel campaigned among students in waterlogged Musakhedi, highlighting paper leaks, examination scams and student rights.
