Ahead of his first student convention in Kota, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said every paper leak and cancelled exam is not just a failure of the system but a blow to the dreams of millions of young people. In a post on X in Hindi, Gandhi said it is not the fruit of hard work that students get but the punishment for daring to dream.

"One thing I want to say to every young person in this country – today, in this nation, it's not the fruit of hard work that you get, but punishment for daring to dream. "Every paper leak, every cancelled exam, every stalled recruitment – these aren't just failures of the system, but blows struck against the dreams of millions," he said in his post. "I know you're exhausted.
You're angry. But remember this – when the government refuses to listen, you have to raise your voice louder. "That's why I'm calling on all of you – June 17, Kota. Let's come together and become a roar that can't be ignored. Starting from Kota - then reaching every corner of the country," the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said. In another message on his website, Gandhi said, "Today, in our country, hard work is not rewarded; instead, dreams are demolished. "Every paper leak, every cancelled examination, every incomplete recruitment process is not just a failure of the system; it is an attack on the dreams of millions of young people," he said and urged the youths to join him in Kota for the 'Chhatron Ki Goonj' mega rally to fight for their rights. Sharing a video on X of the chaos at Patliputra railway station where aspirants heading for a police constable exam had claimed a lack of adequate trains, Gandhi alleged that the "government squanders billions on its billionaire cronies, yet can't even provide its own students with a safe journey".
"At election time, this very government pulls out all the stops to arrange entire trains. But for students heading to exams, what's in store is – crowds, suffocation and utter helplessness. "What greater proof could there be that the Modi government has no intention of even listening to the students' cries. But I promise you this – we will carry this voice to those deaf ears. Every student will get their due, their justice," he said, adding the voice of the youth will now turn into a battle cry. The Congress has announced that the first phase of a nationwide campaign against paper leaks and examination irregularities will commence with Rahul Gandhi addressing a series of student conventions, starting from Kota on Wednesday. "The movement will seek to unite students beyond political affiliations and provide a platform for affected youth to share their experiences and demand accountability for "repeated examination failures and paper leak scandals," the party has said.
