The BJP accused several Congress leaders of avoiding promotion of Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatro Ki Goonj', calling it a 'pure PR stunt' and claiming he lacks connection with youth. Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari shared posting statistics. The initiative is a nationwide student outreach addressing paper leaks, fees, safety and women's rights; a major event in Pune on August 22 featured Gandhi urging women's empowerment and criticizing Manusmriti.
