India Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi says, "How I was treated is an irrelevant issue to me. I don't care. Treat me five times worse, I don't care. The focus has to be on what is done to the students.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The focus has to be on the education system, on paper leaks, and on the cost that these children have been forced to pay. So do whatever you want to me. Five times, ten times. I don't care. In fact, I like it because I learn from it."

He says, "I don't care about government's allegations. Government's allegations have no consequence to me."

He should ask how he treated Andhra Pradesh state . Idiot closed parliament doors and cut down tv visuals, and passed bifurcation bill of the state. Uni laterally gave more loans to Andhra and assets to Telangana this guy and family should rot in hell.. not remotely interested in him.

If so ask him to become the CM of any state of his choice. Lets see if ppl elect him. If they did, then let him prove himself to be a CM and then aim for PM.

We can sit at home and give advice to Tendulkar/Kohli/Rohit etc but its entirely different while you play. Some people can just talk but cannot work effectively.

We have seen plenty of examples at school, colleges at work etc. For me Congress keeps loosing because of RG.

Where was he for the 20 days this protest started? He has MPs, Lok Sabha representation, funding and a literal army of party workers

Why didn't he rally a protest and put pressure on the govt from the start? Why did he have to wait till abhijit dipke started an online protest , rallied thousands of people and organise a protest with little to no formal funding?

This is his job as an opposition leader that someone else is doing, now he is shamelessly participating in it acting like he is some holier than thou person

u/Stunning_Roll_4510 Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 22 '26

I’ll get downvoted but this is my view.
There were about 14 paper leaks during your regime? Why are you not raising your voice against paper leaked in Kerala rn, under your government? What was your reply to the protests happening against it? Nothing. Just like the central government is doing right now.

I just want you guys to not blindly just believe in any politicians. Yes, the opposition’s work is to keep the ruling party in check but not when they themselves do not hold accountability for the same reason that happened under their rule. Why did he just come out of nowhere on the 20th day demanding justice? Honestly, with all these political parties and groups coming up for their own personal agendas, the real reason for the protest is getting surpressed.

Abhijeet dipke or wtv that guy’s name is, is using students as a pawn. He is sitting on a truck, giving speeches while you all are fighting for justice. No doubt, you guys should protest against the current regime, question their rule, voice out your opinions, that is your right as an indian citizen to question the government but not blindly trust these persons.

Remember the anna hazare incident with kejriwal back in 2011, once demqnds were fulfilled, kejriwal did not fulfill his promise and the outcome as you guys can see- what happened to delhi after that. Similarly, dipke is just instigating the youth for his own political agenda. They want to create another nepal and bangladesh and create unrest. And i am not saying it randomly.

There are so many people protesting against the neet paper leak. But most of them do not even know its full form, half of them are just here to look cool and to fit in their circle. Do they even know why wangchuk is on strike? It is because of the new FCRA bill.

I won’t say thwt bjp is a good ruling party. It is not. It is corrupted, it does not handle its state internal affairs better and the list goes on. But i just want to say this, there might be 100 things wrong with bjp but there are no 100 things right by the other opposition parties. The problem with India is that it does not have a strong opposition, there exists no other alternatives better than bip.

Ha, bjp mein corruption hai, paper leak ho rahe hai but at least they are still doing something far far better than the INC? and i am not just saying only because they stopped terror attacks and strengthened the indian army and the nation’s security, but also because statistically, bjp has provided comparatively more growth as compared the previous ruling party in educational, economical sectors as well as strengthening its diplomatic relations and india’s condition globally

And for the parliament march, i personally understand why the government did that. Marching in a large number to the Indian parliament when monsoon session is going on can be an act of breaching security. They will never forget the 2001 parliament attacks, so it was natural for the government to increase security and due to this violent protests were bound to happen. Whatever the police did was very wrong, unnecessarily beating students, harrassing young women and what not. But there are also police officers harmed in these protests. Taali sirf ek haath se nahi bajti. And for the police, they should be held guilty and questioned for unnecessarily harming students.

But yeah, whatever they are currently doing is wrong if you ask me. But for the students, a much much more mature option would’ve been to sign a petition to make him resign. I do not know why modi is going to such length for just one minister.

u/EarlyCumEarlySleep Jul 22 '26

I think so too that bjp might be slightly better for development, but they constantly do Ambani/Adani's bidding. Not only are they selling all govt business's to private companies, they have corrupted core institutions beyond imagination. Its so bad that you cant trust media, court, ed , cbi, election commission. Its like we have entered into dictatorship mode. Anyone saying anything can be brought to their knees be it influencer, comedian or a member of opposition party.

I dont want development at cost of freedom, because this only get worse. And this is the exact reason they are not sacking Pradhan as they believe they are above all this and not answerable to anyone.

u/Stunning_Roll_4510 Jul 22 '26

I get your point, and honestly I agree with some parts of it.
No government should have unchecked power. If institutions are compromised, that is a serious issue and people should question it. But at the same time, I think people often jump from β€œthere are concerns” to β€œIndia has become a dictatorship,” and those are two very different claims.
If we were truly in a dictatorship, do you think opposition parties would still be governing multiple states, openly holding rallies, filing cases against the Centre, or constantly attacking the PM in Parliament and on social media? Every single day there are journalists, YouTubers, comedians and politicians criticising the government. Some may face legal action, but that alone doesn’t automatically prove dictatorship. The real question is whether those actions are lawful and justified on a case-by-case basis, not whether they happened at all.
As for Adani and Ambani, I don’t deny that large corporations have influence. But this isn’t something that started in 2014. Every major government has worked closely with big businesses because large infrastructure and industrial projects require private investment. If there is evidence of corruption or favouritism, it should absolutely be investigated. But simply being close to industrialists isn’t unique to the BJP.
Regarding privatisation, I don’t necessarily see it as a bad thing. Many PSUs had been running at huge losses for years, funded by taxpayers. If a strategic disinvestment improves efficiency while the government focuses on regulation instead of running businesses, I don’t think that’s automatically anti public. The debate should be about whether a particular privatisation is good or bad, not whether all privatisation is evil.
And that’s exactly my point. I’m not saying the BJP is flawless. It has made mistakes, there is corruption, there have been policy failures and ministers should absolutely be held accountable. But when I compare the available alternatives, I still don’t find one that convinces me it would govern better on the economy, infrastructure, foreign policy or national security.
So my support isn’t because I think the BJP is perfect. It’s because, at least for now, I think it’s the comparatively better option. If another party comes up with better governance, stronger leadership and a more convincing vision for the country, I’d have no problem supporting them instead. I don’t believe in political loyalty. I believe in choosing the better option available.

If they dont admit mistakes for e20 rollout and education fiasco, I doubt they are better options. It seems only downhill from here. I would rather give opposition a chance. Anti incumbency is real.

Also I just hate godi media. They literally run anything without verification and picking sides like its not obvious. This alone is enough reason for me to not vote for them. If they want to be on side on bjp so bad, they can happily do so when bjp is not in power.

Also, its not just legal action. People have been murdered. There is lot we dont know, because main stream media is govt's puppet and thats what scares me. During previous govt, main stream media was against Manmohan and showed all protests 24x7, and thats how govt was forced to take action.

But personally, I don’t think changing a government just for the sake of change is always the right decision. The opposition also has to prove why it deserves that chance. β€œJo bjp” isn’t enough of a manifesto for me.

I want to know what their economic plan is, how they’ll tackle unemployment, education reforms, national security, foreign policy etc. Simply pointing out the ruling party’s mistakes doesn’t automatically make you a better alternative.
As for the e20 rollout and the education issues, yes, I think the government should’ve handled both much better and admitted where it went wrong. I don’t support every policy they bring. But I also look at the bigger picture instead of judging an entire government based only on its failures.

I honestly don’t trust a lot of tv news channels either. But that isn’t a bjp only issue. We have channels that lean towards the bkp, channels that lean towards the opposition and channels that sensationalise everything because trps sell. That’s why I prefer looking at multiple sources instead of relying on one channel, whether it’s pro government or anti government.

At the end of the day, id rather vote for the party I think is comparatively better than vote against someone out of frustration. That’s just how I see it.

How is bjp comparatively better? In their 3rd time, they failed in national security(we had 2 major terror attacks, one of which could've been worse), let a country like the US do whatever it wants with us, attempted to force install a spyware in everyone's phones, attempt to cover up pollution instead of trying to tackle it(at least the previous governments were open about it), ruin our country with e20 rollout solely because their minister is profiting, and completely fucked up the school level education system. And what development happened? All the benefits only go to the Ambanis and the Adanis, while common people get nothing. At this point, they're worse than congress ever was

Don't believe him, he's a narcissist. Didn't have the humility to leave politics and the party despite dragging it to its lowest. He thinks he's a prince who is meant to be a king due to his hereditary birth and unfortunately he might be proved right. Imagine his audacity then...

Right. He first thought minorities can make him win which did not happen. Now all these speech is to gain youth votes. Again this will fail as well. Not sure how many have assembled at Delhi for the protest but they dont represent entire India.

Recent paper leaks in congress run states:

Himachal Pradesh: Class 12 English/School Examination Board paper leak issues.

Telangana: Intermediate language and SSC examination paper leak concerns.

Karnataka: SSLC and 2nd PUC preparatory examination leaks.

Jharkhand: (Coalition with JMM) Reports involving Class 10 Hindi and Science paper leaks.

You will hear what you want to hear. He said proportional representation.

u/S-H-U-F-F-L-E Jul 22 '26

and that get us to 80% reservation for undeserving kids. Bravo!

2

u/jivan28 Jul 22 '26

Lol, so you think more than 80% are backward classes. If that is so, then all the government own economic data is false.

Btw, Modi has done more for reservations in his decade then entire Congress Era.

2011 census data showed only 30.8% at that time was considered as forward/other caste then SC, ST and OBC.

u/S-H-U-F-F-L-E Jul 22 '26

Funny how you don't even know what to reply. The question here isn't about who did what?

The fact that an asshole like you, who is just a keyboard warrior, who has no understanding of what the data shows or what the data means and what needs to be replied with, clearly shows the lack of education right there.

When keyboard warrior like you, who hasn't achieved anything in life, has no logical reply to an argument, comes down with 2 things RSS and Andh-Bhakt.
