Rahul Gandhi’s interaction with Gargi College and Delhi University students went viral after a student joked that “joining Congress” was her riskiest act, drawing laughter. The discussion also covered serious issues like the ABVP row, campus safety concerns, the women’s reservation bill, and potential regional tensions over delimitation.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, on April 26, posted a video on his X handle in which he interacted with women from Gargi College and Delhi University. The conversation had its share of funny moments, as well as serious discussions related to the students.

During the interaction, Gandhi asked the students, “What is the riskiest thing you guys have done?” One student humorously responded, saying, “Joining Congress.” Her candid reply drew laughter from the room, with the Congress leader agreeing and saying, “Okay, that’s risky. That’s really risky.”

The clip quickly went viral for its informal nature and the student’s candid humour. That humorous response wasn’t the only light moment; there were several others as well. There were also discussions on the ABVP row, the women’s reservation bill, ethnic tensions in Manipur, and more.

Students from Gargi College spoke about the recent ABVP row, with some saying they felt “threatened” as members allegedly forced entry into their campus. “A lot of people from ABVP broke our gate and entered the premises,” one student said.
