Rahul Gandhi Speech at Congress plenary session: Top Highlights

New Delhi : Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Sunday equated the BJP and RSS with the Kauravas of the Hindu epic Mahabarata, saying they were designed to fight for power.

Like the Kauravas, the BJP and the RSS are designed to fight for power, but like Pandavas, the Congress is designed to fight for truth, he said while addressing the party's plenary session here.

Gandhi also said that people will accept that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is drunk with power "because they know what it is designed for".

Here are the Top Highlights of Rahul Gandhi Speech:

1. The BJP is the voice of an organisation & the Congress is the voice of a nation.

2. There are two visions before the world today- American and Chinese. My aim is to present an Indian vision to the world.

3. I will break the communication barriers between our grassroots workers and leaders.

4. To every youngster in India, we are your instrument. The Congress Party belong to you. We want to open our doors to your talent your bravery and your energy. This country is struggling and it needs you.

5. We paid 570 Cr per plane & Modi paid 1670 Cr for the same plane. He paid 1100 Cr more per plane. Forget fighter planes you can’t trust such a man to buy vegetables!!! Modi is not fighting corruption Modi is corruption. 

6. Modi personally changed Rafale deal & bought 36 aircraft for the same price that we the Congress negotiated for 126.

7. We were the fastest growing economy in the world. But today millions of youth face unemployment.

8. Congress will take the country forward, but we are humans, we make mistakes. Modi ji thinks he is not human but an incarnation of God.

9. Mahabharata 2.0: Rahul Gandhi likens BJP to Kaurvas, Congress to Pandvas.

10. You can steal Rs 33,000 crore from the banks and the BJP government will protect you. Finance Minister will go silent because he and his daughter work for crony capitalists.

11. We have to change Congress. There is a wall between our leaders and workers. My first task will be to break that wall. I will consult senior leaders to destroy that wall with love.

12. They told Gauri Lankesh and Kalburgi, question us and you will die. They tell our honest businessman to shut up and allow corrupt officers to extort their hard earned money. They tell our farmers to work for nothing.

13. They (people) will accept a man accused of murder as the President of the BJP, but they will never ever accept the same in the Congress Party because they hold Congress in the highest regard.

14. What does Modi actually mean? The name Modi symbolises the collusion between India's biggest crony capitalists and the prime minister of India.

15. They tell Muslims of India who never went to Pakistan&supported this great nation that you don't belong here. They tell the Tamils change your beautiful language, they tell people of north-east we don't like what you eat, tell women dress properly.

16. The PM diverts our attention and jumps from one event to another from Gabbar Singh tax to yoga in Parliament but never talks about the issues. But, the Congress cannot be stopped from seeking the truth and justice

17. I don't say it with happiness but the last govt we formed did not stand up to the expectations of the people. The people of the country were let down by us

18. Will India live a lie or will India have the courage to face the truth? Today, the corrupt and powerful control the conversation in the country.

 

19. Centuries ago there was huge battle on the field of Kurukshetra. The Kauravas were powerful&arrogant. The Pandavas were humble&fought for the truth. Like the Kauravas BJP & RSS are designed to fight for power, like the Pandavas,Congress is designed to fight for truth.
