NEW DELHI: Pawan Khera , media in charge of the All India Congress Committee , on Friday listed out the work done by Rahul Gandhi in the first 100 days since he became the leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha. Gandhi traveled across the country and raised issues of the common people such as farmers, laborers, loco pilots, and manual scavengers.
Khera said that Rahul became the voice of the voiceless and stood up for the oppressed and marginalized. He further said that the LoP stood up against the violence in Manipur and raised the issue in the Parliament.
Rahul also opposed the lateral entry into government services and urged for fair recruitment process, said Khera. Gandhi also demanded accountability and challenged malpractices in government entrance exams, he added.
"Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of loco pilots’ working conditions, highlighting the impact on train safety. Media attention followed, ensuring the issue couldn’t be ignored.

Additionally, he said that Gandhi opposed Agniveer scheme, demanding fair recruitment process in the Army and also pitched for caste census across the nation.
"He stood firm against the Broadcast Bill aimed at stifling independent media voices. Thanks to Rahul’s leadership, the bill was junked. Rahul Gandhi defended India's secular values, successfully pushing the Waqf Bill to a parliamentary committee for review. Rahul Gandhi chose to stand with victims of tragic incidents over attending high-profile events, showing his commitment to common people over politics," said Khera.

In his first 100 days as LoP, @RahulGandhi ji has been the voice of the voiceless! From championing the cause of those affected by the violence in Manipur to opposing unjust government policies, he has consistently stood up for the marginalized and the oppressed.
