Congress, in response, has hit back at the Chief Minister’s remarks, escalating the exchange between the two parties ahead of Gandhi’s Indore programme.
The event was originally scheduled for September 12 but was postponed to September 19 after permission issues surrounding the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The Congress subsequently sought an alternative venue, and the Indore Development Authority has approved the party’s request to hold the programme at IDA grounds near Regional Park.
Rahul Gandhi has presented the programme as an opportunity for students to share their experiences and concerns, making youth and education a central theme of the upcoming political outreach.
