Rahul Gandhi backed student protests in Jharkhand via Instagram, calling India's education system "collapsed," "expensive and oppressive" — while launching a Q&A for Gen Z. His remarks followed a meeting with NEET protesters alleging police brutality and communal slurs. Congress is part of Jharkhand's ruling coalition, and its state unit had already urged Chief Minister Hemant Soren to address student grievances. The initiative follows his Instagram debut saying "Students, Gen-Z - I'm here to listen." He also accused PM Modi and Amit Shah of lacking courage to face the press.
