Congress leader Rahul Gandhi arrives in Chennai ahead of his participation in the “Chhatron Ki Goonj” student outreach event, and holds a meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay. Multiple outlets report the meeting takes place at or near the chief minister’s residence before the event.
The event is presented as a large student engagement programme with significant participation, and it focuses on issues affecting youth. The Hindu adds details on the themes and mentions a high level of student registrations, including concerns around the education system, NEET-related grievances, youth unemployment, and regional culture. Other coverage concentrates more narrowly on the fact of the meeting and Gandhi’s Chennai visit, including brief on-the-ground details referenced by Mint.
