DU student alleges Congress march participants offered cash incentives

A Delhi University student has levelled serious charges against student activists involved in organizing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's recent 'Save Democracy March', claiming that participants were offered cash payments ranging from ₹200 to ₹500 to join demonstrations.

The student alleged that NSUI leader Anas made the cash offers to mobilize demonstrators against what the march organizers characterized as threats to democratic institutions. The accusation emerged in public discussions, drawing attention to the methods employed to gather crowds for the political event.

Additionally, the student claimed that problematic messages were circulated within a messaging group, allegedly linking female participants with NRI investors and offering monetary inducements. The nature and authenticity of these claims have not been independently verified.

The allegations raise questions about the organizational practices of student political groups and their recruitment methods for mass mobilization events. Neither the NSUI nor Congress representatives have publicly responded to the accusations as of reports. The incident reflects ongoing tensions within university politics and the mechanisms through which student organizations engage participation in political activities.
