Jaipur:
Rahul Gandhi is addressing a gathering of Congress workers in Jaipur as part of his two-day visit to Rajasthan.
Here are the highlights of what he said:
- I never understood the practical use of pagdi.
- After walking 10 km in Rajasthan, I have understood the importance of a pagdi.
- I liked the movie Lagaan about the poor of India, and tax being taken from farmers, and how they unite.
- In the end, the farmers win. In the movie, and in real life.
- Today the Rajasthan government's remote control is in London. They press the button and she jumps.
- This is not a Vasundhara Raje government, it is a 'Lalit Modi sarkaar'. They are business partners.
- Your Chief Minister has signed and said I want to help a fugitive but don't tell the people of India.
- She broke the law of this country, helped a wanted a fugitive.
- Farmers told me that someone has taken their land and that the issue is in court and that they are stuck.
- Ashok Gehlot government gave free medicine to all people.
- This government is closing down the hospitals.
- Why is the PM silent, the senior Modi?
- Bring him (Lalit Modi) back. Remove his government.
- Bring the people's government back.
- But after becoming PM, he has forgotten all this.
- This is not Rahul's voice but the voice of the people of India.
- Land Acquisition Bill will not be passed in Parliament.
- We will not let up on even an inch of land.
- 56-inch chest will become 5.6 inch.
- Congress is the strength of this country.
- What Modi says, the others should listen.
- Ministers are for show. The others are puppets. He is the only minister.
- There maybe pulls and pushes from various factions, but we want to give a voice to all in this party. Congress Party wants a place for all.
- Congress has to embrace the people of this country, come out of closed doors and open doors to the people of India.
- Discipline also has to be followed.
- Gehlot represents experience. Age is not an issue, not a factor. Only rules.
- Those young at heart will find a place in the Congress.
- Sachin Pilot has energy, but not experience. We need Gehlot,s experience also and Sachin's energy.
- Congress needs to merge youth and experience.
- We have more than other parties. Nobody should feel left out in the Congress.
