PM Modi Used Student Interaction as Political Campaign: Kharge

Kharge said Modi should have addressed student concerns on education and jobs, citing unemployment, paper leaks and rising costs instead of attacking critics.

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Shri Ram College of Commerce's centenary celebrations, criticizing government opponents and those opposing national projects during his Teachers Day speech.
  • Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge responded by accusing the Prime Minister of turning the Teachers Day address into a political campaign rather than engaging students on education and employment issues.
  • Kharge claimed the Prime Minister's "modus operandi" involved suppressing questions by assigning the Opposition "a new adjective every year," citing terms including "Angry Uncle," "Urban Naxal," "Khan Market Gang," and "Parasite."
  • Presenting a youth "Report Card," Kharge argued students face pressing problems including rising unemployment, paper leaks, shrinking scholarship opportunities, and increasing pressure on university autonomy.
  • Turning the Prime Minister's outreach remarks into a political jab, Kharge stated, "Outreach is only needed when you become Out of Reach," while criticizing what he described as anti-people policies.
