It was a much-hyped and much televised interaction, and it almost went against Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi. After the watching Rahul’s day with the college students in Bengaluru, one would ask the question whether the Congress leader has understood the aspirations of educated youth of urban India. The answer could be no. He does not know what the urban population wants, especially the young lot.

Speaking at Bengaluru's Mount Carmel College, Rahul asked the students: "Do you think Swachh Bharat is working? Do you think Make in India is working?"

Rahul's audience was a divided lot, while some replied in a resounding 'yes' others shouted 'no'. The Congress MP did not stop there. He again asked the student if they thought the Make in India was really working and the students again gave the same reply.

 The answers given by the students totally stumped the Gandhi scion and made him a little uncomfortable. He was forced to say "you might see it I don't."

Rahul Gandhi, who sported a grey T-shirt, said, "anyway, I don't clearly see a vision that the BJP is projecting".

The students asked many other questions:

Why no conversation was held with Irom Sharmila during her years long fast?

You talk about Suit Boot (Modi) government but what’s wrong with that if it brings development and achieves economic growth?

GST is an important economic reform bill and piloted by the Congress. But why is the party stalling it when it is moved by the BJP?

Why is the opposition stalling Parliament merely for opposing the government?

Why the youth was going either to the BJP or to the AAP and not to the Congress party?

Does aligning with the RJD in Bihar not mean that the Congress is compromising with corruption?

Why after several years of Congress rule both at the centre and in states, north-east has been left neglected.

The Congress leader, during the question and answer round, even said that "suit-boot" government was failing on all fronts.

Targeting the government over rising intolerance, Gandhi said the BJP doesn’t believe in holding talks with the Opposition. “They just know how to silence the voices, said Gandhi.

In a sharp attack to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gandhi said, “In the central government today, there is only one man who takes every single decision. It can’t be that he has all the answers to the problems of our country.”
