This is the defeat of that system which refused to reward his hard work," Rahul Gandhi said. Further questioning the silence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, Rahul Gandhi said that students are the "light of the nation" and asserted that he stands with them with "full strength." "Thirteen days have passed - not a word has come from Home Minister Amit Shah's mouth. Amit Shah ji, don't think for a moment that we will stop demanding accountability. You are the power and pride of India, and when I say this, I talk about every Indian citizen," Rahul Gandhi said in Prayagraj.
