The NSUI leaders had apprised the party leadership about the corruption in the students' union and had also written a letter to Congress party interim chief Sonia Gandhi.
According to the ABVP, the image shared by NSUI claiming to be a student protest against the BJP is in fact an image of ABVP protest that was organised in November 2019 to protest against fee hike.
It is speculated that Rahul Gandhi took a dig on Sachin Pilot who has been rebelling against Congress and has been very vocal about his disappointment with the party leadership.
