Rahul Gandhi made it clear that there was no desire to make Hindi the only official language, threatening the identity of your language (Kannada), he said.
According to Kharge, individuals who took part in the discussions confirmed that they were not connected with the Congress party and that they were taking part in the yatra to save the Constitution, which must begin in the schools.
Most of the participants in the interaction brought up issues with the education sector since the BJP Government took office and the implementation of NEP, according to Rajeev Gowda, chairman of the AICC Research Department (National Education Policy).
