Goa University invited Rahul Gandhi, not us - Youth Congress

Meanwhile, Goa Governor S.S. Sidhu has already called for a “factual report” on Rahul Gandhi’s visit to the varsity on Tuesday, a Raj Bhavan official said. “The governor has taken note of the reports in the media about the Rahul Gandhi controversy. During a meeting with the VC held today, his excellency has him to submit a factual report on Gandhi’s visit to thecampus,” N. Radhakrishnan, the special secretary to the Governor, said in a statement.

The three meetings conducted by Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday created much controversy in the state, with the opposition BJP demanding the Registrar’s resignation for allowing them.

Gandhi addressed meetings of the Congress-backed National Students Union of India (NSUI) and later of the Youth Congress members and state Congress unit officials. The varsity was under siege by members of the student's cell of the BJP, before Gandhi’s visit over the same issue.

The university later claimed that Youth Congress office bearers had kept them in the dark about the political nature of Gandhi’s visit.
