Congeress paid ₹30,000 to promote Rahul Gandhi’s Pune event| CJP holds important meeting in Mumbai

A major political controversy has erupted in Maharashtra following Rahul Gandhi’s recent 'Students’ Voice' programme held in Pune. The Bharatiya Janata Party has strongly criticized the opposition, alleging that financial incentives were used to gather crowds, terming the initiative the 'Voice of Money.' In response, the Congress party has dismissed these accusations, defending the event as a genuine platform for youth engagement. Meanwhile, tensions escalated on the ground as activists from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad and the National Students' Union of India clashed at the College of Engineering Pune. Police have registered a formal case against Congress affiliates following the confrontation. In a separate development, the coordination committee of the Maha Vikas Aghadi held a crucial meeting in Mumbai to discuss seat-sharing and future strategy ahead of upcoming political milestones in the state.
