Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday extended support to students protesting in Ranchi against alleged irregularities in recruitment exams, saying every government must listen to what students are saying. He also launched an "Ask Me Anything" session on Instagram, where he told students and Gen-Z that he is there to listen. When asked about the student protest in Jharkhand, a state governed by the JMM - an ally of the opposition INDIA bloc - Gandhi said the education system in the country has collapsed. The Congress party said it stands with the young people agitating in Ranchi. This was Gandhi's first public comment on the protests in Jharkhand.
