Rahul Gandhi Speaks at Youth Congress Event: Highlights

New Delhi: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is addressing the Congress workers at the Youth Convention in Delhi today.

Here are the highlights:

• Today it's Indira Gandhi's birth anniversary
• Would like to talk about two instances wherein our ideology will be clearly explained
• I'll explain why we are against the RSS and why we are sparring with Modi ji
• Indira ji once saw an old man being beaten up, she was 25 then
• She told his attackers to leave, as the question is not who am I, but what are you doing?
• She said if you have the guts hit me, a woman who is standing up against you
• 1947 Partition riots were happening between Hindus and Muslims
  Indira Ji went to help
• Their team said where to start, everyone is fighting and killing each other
• Indira Ji said lets go to Hindus and ask them a question and then ask the Muslims the same question
• She asked whether they believe that Muslims have helped them in the past. They said yes. She did the same with Muslims
• These people (BJP and RSS) are trying to divide people, but Congress is there in the middle which will bring people together
• Riots are done by a few people, our work is to unite everyone, that was the ideology of Indira Ji
• My work is to give space in politics to the weak voices of society
• You are all my friends and you know and understand what I have done and what I have not done
• Our friends in the media say that Congress has only 40-45 MPs. If we only have that many MPs then how did we stop the Land Bill
• It doesn't matter how many we are, our ideology matters
• My job is to listen to everyone
• BJP thought that in Bihar they will sweep and win the state, PM (Narendra Modi) travelled extensively, Amit Shah also did the same.
• There was a sweep, but not for them. It was for us
• More elections are coming, we will sweep them too.
