Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi
encouraged Congress supporters on Sunday, at a big rally at Delhi’s Ramlila
Maidan, defending the UPA government and exhorting the youth to join politics.
He also used the opportunity to assure that Congress is committed to bring a
strong Lokpal Bill which will help curbing graft. He also slammed the
opposition for halting the welfare policies of the central government.
“We brought a strong Lokpal Bill. But after its passage in
Lok Sabha, the opposition stalled it in the Rajya Sabha. In fact they were
laughing after stopping the passage of the bill. But we will bring the bill again and will
get it passed” assured the Congress General Secretary.
Appreciating Delhi CM Sheila Dikshit, the Congress MP went
on to say “Since we are in Delhi, I want to tell something about Delhi. We have
changed the face of Delhi. The people who had left Delhi earlier will not be able to recognize
the place if they come back now. Lots of development took place here in terms
of roads and other infrastructure and I thank Sheila Ji for the commendable
achievements”.
“I want to tell you something else which I have been longing
to convey to you. I have been closely
observing the political system since the past eight years. I interacted with
the poor people, farmers, workers and other sections of the people and this
helped me to learn more about the system.
According to me, the biggest challenge before us is the political
system. The people who run the system
are busy mud-slinging at one another. No one is raising the fundamental
questions,” said Rahul Gandhi.
The rally became a powerful show of strength of the Congress
in which thousands of people from various parts of the country attended.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and several
other senior Congress leaders also addressed the gathering.
