(Rahul Gandhi / X)On X, Gandhi said that in today's India, young people were being "punished for daring to dream" and that hard work no longer guaranteed success. He said every paper leak, cancelled examination and stalled recruitment drive was a systemic failure and a blow to the dreams of millions of students and job seekers.Gandhi, acknowledging the frustration and anger among the youth, said when the government refuses to listen, people must raise their voices louder. He asked students to come together in Kota and make their concerns impossible to ignore."Let's come together and become a roar that can't be ignored. Starting from Kota, then reaching every corner of the country," Gandhi said, describing the campaign as a fight for the future of India's youth.The Congress has sought to make issues such as examination irregularities, paper leaks and delays in government recruitment a major political issue, targeting the Centre over concerns affecting students and job aspirants. Gandhi said he stood with students in their struggle for fair opportunities and employment.The June 17 event will be held at Shri Ram Rangmanch, Dussehra Maidan in Kota. It will be the first stop of a nationwide outreach programme under the banner "Save Education, Save Your Future".The campaign is scheduled to travel next to Allahabad on July 10, Patna on July 11 and Delhi on July 14.
