Congress leader Pawan Kheda, after visiting Baba Mahakal in Ujjain, accused the central government of yielding to pressure from Rahul Gandhi’s ‘students’ echo’ campaign, claiming it has unsettled Prime Minister Modi.
Congress leader Pawan Kheda reached Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday and paid his respects at the Baba Mahakal shrine. Following the religious visit, he addressed a gathering of supporters, turning his remarks toward the central government.
Kheda asserted that the ongoing "students' echo" campaign, spearheaded by senior Congress figure Rahul Gandhi, is putting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his administration under significant pressure. He claimed that the campaign’s rhetoric is disrupting the Prime Minister’s focus and sleep.
The leader did not provide specific details about the campaign’s activities but suggested that the central government is reacting defensively to the opposition’s outreach among students. No immediate response was recorded from the Ministry of Home Affairs or the Prime Minister’s Office.
Political analysts note that the statement reflects the heightened contestation between the ruling party and the opposition ahead of upcoming electoral cycles, especially in central Indian states such as Madhya Pradesh.
