Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi's address at a management college here evoked mixed response from students, with many of them saying the speech contained "too much politics" to establish a connect with them.

Students seemed partly satisfied with Gandhi's address and said he could have elucidated more about his vision of politics.

"The addresses was fair and he made some good points but he brought too much politics into it. Considering that it was interaction with students, had he been more apolitical, it would have made a link with us," said an MBA finance student.

Talking about implementation of the GST Bill, Gandhi said it was Congress which brought in the legislation and the BJP later stopped it in Parliament for seven years. He further said his party did not want a cap on the tax and a fair and neutral dispute resolution.
