Rahul Gandhi highlighted a tragic train accident, terrorist activities in Kashmir, and the plight of train passengers. He also pointed out scandals such as the NEET scam, the cancellation of NEET PG, and leaks in UGC NET exams. Additionally, he addressed the rising prices of essentials like milk, pulses, and gas, environmental crises such as forest fires and water shortages, and deaths due to inadequate arrangements during the heatwave.
