Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi while addressing Congress rallies in
Meghalaya urged the youth to join politics to eradicate corruption and to
improve the country. "Corruption is an issue in the whole country and we
have to ensure that we remove it from the political system. That is why it is
so important that new young faces come into the political scene," said
Rahul Gandhi.
"I am in politics for many years but I am not happy
with the way politics works. There are many things we can improve," Rahul
Gandhi said and added: "If we really want to change politics, then we have
to bring youngsters into the political system. Youngsters who are sensitive to
the views of the common man, youngsters who feel the pain of the poor person,
youngsters who suffer when they see a bad road, youngsters who suffer when they
see that their people do not have the medical facility they need."
The newly appointed Congress Vice President also said
"It is only when we open the doors of politics, and bring in these
youngsters, that politics will really change. And I see many of those
youngsters in this ground and I want you to enter into the political
system". He said that Congress does not believe in favouring one community
or one group of people. "We believe in helping everybody, in moving
everybody together forward. If we want to really move this forward, if we want
development, we need to think about empowering local government and the local
people," said Rahul Gandhi.
Praising Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma, Rahul Gandhi
said: "He is a hard working person and he thinks about the future of your
state and you have your government in Delhi which is also a Congress
government, which wants to support the growth of Meghalaya. I want both these
governments to work together to bring massive developments to the state."
"There are large amounts of money sent from Delhi to the state, and we
need to ensure that that money gets to the people. Rajiv Gandhi used to say that
for every one rupee that is sent, 15 paise reached the last person. We need to
change that so that our people can benefit."
