Kota: 4 claims, every one checked.

On 17 June 2026, Rahul Gandhi launched the inaugural “Chhatron Ki Goonj” Maha Rally in Kota, armed with a familiar formula: take genuine student concerns, strip away the context, inflate the numbers and turn them into a sweeping indictment of the entire system. From paper leaks and coaching costs to jobs, admissions and student distress, Rahul presented allegation after allegation as settled fact.

Here is a fact-check of his major claims against the latest government data, official examination statistics, surveys and relevant research.
