The Gujarat Congress on Tuesday took out a foot 🧔march from near Sabarmati Ashram to state party headquarters in Ahmedabad city to protest against recent question paper leak cases and express solidarity with youths.
Senior le🎐aders, including Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee president Jagdish Thakor, legislature party leader Amit Chavda, MLA Jignesh Mevani and hundreds of workers joined the 'padayatra' (foot march) -- "haath se haath" (from hand to hand).
The Opposition party expressed solidarity with candidates of pa💜nchayat junior clerk recruitment exam who were affected after a question paper leaked hours before the test, and protested against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government for not addressing the concerns of Gujarat's youths.
"Haath se haath" is a campaign that the Gujarat Congress ꦚlaunched today to express solidarity with 50 lakh candidates who have been affected by exam question paper leak cases. It is a symbolic rally, and in coming days, the Congress will raise issues affecting farmers, youths and women," said Chavda.
Thakor accused the BJP government of🥀 doing nothing for lakhs of unemployed youths even as six lakh government posts remain vacant in the stat𝐆e.
"The BJP is recruiting youths on a contractual basis in government posts with the intention to do away with reservation for SC/ST/OBC candidates. Those working on contract are vulnerable to exploitation,"꧋ the GPCC presiden🌠t said.
