Modi Govt Courts Young Voters; Opposition Raises Student Protests, Temple Funds
The Modi government is intensifying efforts to engage young voters, with ministers focusing on social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. Prime Minister Modi's Reels and the Ministry of External Affairs' presence on Snapchat are part of this outreach. Simultaneously, the INDIA bloc has demanded a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the handling of student protests and the collection of donations for the Ram Temple. Congress has also reiterated its stance on the women's reservation bill and the delimitation bill, with Minister Kiren Rijiju reportedly seeking support from Rahul Gandhi for these legislative proposals.
