Rahul Gandhi Chhatron Ki Gunj: BJP Alleges Crowd Was Paid to Attend | Gen Z | Pune | Capital TV

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent 'Chhatron Ki Gunj' interactive event held in Pune has triggered a major political controversy in Maharashtra. The program, aimed at engaging with Gen Z and young students, drew significant attention. However, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party launched a sharp attack against the opposition, alleging that the attendees present at the venue were financially incentivized to show up. BJP leaders claimed that people gathered only because money was distributed, questioning the authenticity of the youth support. On the other hand, the Congress party has strongly denied these allegations, dismissing them as a desperate attempt by the ruling dispensation to undermine the overwhelming positive response received from the younger demographic. The war of words between the two major political parties has intensified local political tensions, putting student outreach programs under heavy scrutiny across the state.
