Indore, September 19, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi will visit Indore on Saturday to interact with students as part of his ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ initiative, which focuses on issues related to education, recruitment and unemployment.
Rahul Gandhi had confirmed his visit earlier this week through a post on X, inviting students to participate in the programme and share their concerns.
“I’m coming to Indore on September 19 — to meet students, to hear you, to talk to you,” he said, urging students and their families affected by problems in the education system to join the initiative.
He said the Indore interaction would discuss various aspects of education and the difficulties faced by students.
The ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ campaign has been used by Rahul Gandhi to engage with students and raise issues including question paper leaks, the rising cost of education, alleged irregularities in government recruitment and unemployment.
Four editions of the programme have so far been held in Kota, Dehradun, Prayagraj and Pune. The Pune edition, held on August 22, was organised specifically for female students.
The Indore programme has also become a point of political discussion after the Congress was denied permission to use the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as the venue. The Madhya Pradesh Congress subsequently took around 12,000 square metres of land in front of the Regional Park on temporary lease from September 17 to 19 for the event.
Rahul Gandhi’s visit has intensified political activity in Madhya Pradesh. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had earlier criticised the proposed programme and described it as “Jhooth Ki Goonj”.
The Congress programme comes amid continued political debate in the state over education, recruitment and employment-related issues.
