Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi alleged the BJP-RSS do not want poor children to learn this language because they don't want them to attain equality. In a post in Hindi on X, Gandhi said, “English is not a dam, it is a bridge. English is not shameful, it is empowering. English is not a chain - it is a tool to break the chains.”

“The BJP-RSS don’t want poor kids of India to learn English - because they don’t want you to ask questions, move ahead, and attain equality,” he claimed.
