Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed students at the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' program in Prayagraj on August 8, 2026, urging youth to challenge systemic corruption.
Gandhi claimed that only 12 out of 1,000 people secure permanent jobs, while citing recurring paper leaks in Uttar Pradesh since 2017, including the 2023 RO/ARO and Constable exams.
He emphasized that India's 40 crore youth and daily data consumption of one gigabyte per person are the primary drivers for the 21st-century economy.
