Modi Govt Snubs 66 Backward Caste Scholars: Rahul’s Sharp Rebuke
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the Modi government Monday, July 7, 2025, over the denial of overseas scholarships to 66 students from backward communities. He highlighted the alleged lack of funds as the reason behind this decision.
Gandhi accused the government of prioritizing Prime Minister Modi’s numerous foreign trips over the educational aspirations of underprivileged students. He argued that this move directly undermines the progress of these deserving individuals.
The Congress leader demanded an immediate reversal of the decision, urging the government to prioritize the education and future prospects of students from marginalized communities.
This incident underscores the ongoing debate on equitable resource allocation within the education sector. The denial of scholarships raises serious questions about the government’s commitment to inclusive growth and social justice, potentially impacting India’s future talent pool.
