Congress Leader of Opposition Accuses Ruling Party of Prioritizing Power Over Youth Jobs in Fiery Social Media Post

In a scathing critique of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on September 26, 2025, voiced strong support for agitating students in Uttarakhand protesting a recent examination paper leak scandal. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Gandhi alleged that unemployment in India is intrinsically tied to “vote chori” (vote theft), branding the BJP as synonymous with “paper chor” (paper thieves). His remarks came amid widespread outrage over the leak of question papers for state recruitment exams, affecting thousands of aspirants and sparking violent clashes with police in Dehradun.

Gandhi emphasized that the BJP’s indifference to youth employment stems from a strategy focused on electoral manipulation rather than genuine development, urging nationwide solidarity with the protesters. “The BJP isn’t concerned about jobs for our youth; they’re only worried about staying in power through stolen votes,” he posted, linking the incident to broader systemic failures in education and recruitment processes.

In Uttarakhand, investigations have revealed a nexus involving insiders who allegedly sold papers for up to Rs 20 lakh each, prompting the state government to order a high-level probe and cancel the affected exams. Student unions have demanded CBI intervention and the resignation of Education Minister Dhan Singh Rawat. This outburst reignites national discourse on youth unemployment, which stands at over 23% for ages 15-29 per recent NSSO data, and could fuel opposition momentum ahead of upcoming state polls. Gandhi’s intervention highlights the Congress’s renewed aggressive stance against the ruling coalition.
