Indore, September 19, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi will visit Indore on September 19 to interact with students as part of his ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ initiative, which focuses on education, recruitment and unemployment-related concerns.
Confirming his visit in a social media post, Gandhi invited students to participate in large numbers and share their experiences and concerns. He urged students to register for the programme through the link shared in his post.
“We will discuss in detail every aspect of education and your struggles in Indore,” Gandhi said.
The ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ campaign has been used by Gandhi to engage directly 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 organised in Kota, Dehradun, Prayagraj and Pune. The Pune edition, held on August 22, was organised specifically for female students.
The upcoming Indore event has also become a political issue after the Congress was denied permission to use the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as its 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 programme.
Gandhi’s visit has intensified political activity in Madhya Pradesh. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had earlier criticised the Congress leader ahead of the programme and dubbed the proposed event “Jhooth Ki Goonj”.
The Indore interaction is expected to provide Gandhi another platform to engage with young voters and highlight the Congress’s concerns over education, employment and recruitment-related issues.
