Indore. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi addressed the 'Students' Echo' program in Indore on Saturday. During this, he said that, we want the broken hopes of the students to come back and they start believing in education and the system again. Students should take the country forward with the help of their strengths – Curiosity, Honesty, Compassion, Love, Affection. The violence and hatred that is being spread in the country today can only be eradicated by students, blind devotees can never eradicate it. We want an India of students, not of blind followers.

He further said, education in the country is the responsibility of the government, but today education is being weakened. In the UPA government, 4.6% of the budget used to go to education, which has now been reduced to 2.6%. In the last 10 years, 1.5 crore scholarships have been snatched away. Today, 10 lakh teacher posts are lying vacant in India.

During this, Suraj Thakur of Raisen district presented his views in front of Rahul Gandhi. Suraj Thakur said that there was a vacancy of Civil Judge in MP in the year 2022, in which there were 121 posts for tribal candidates. But the BJP government did not give job to the tribal youth on even a single post. Did he not find even a single youth worthy of becoming a judge? Actually, the BJP government does not want any tribal to become a civil judge or come into the system.
