Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday striking an
emotional chord with the youth in Meghalaya appealed to them to help his party
build a "better Meghalaya". Rahul Gandhi was addressing an election
rally at Nongpoh three days before Meghalaya goes to the polls on February 23.
"I would appeal to the youth who can work with the
people and for a better Meghalaya to come and join the party. When I see the
youths of the region working in Delhi and Bangalore, I feel nice. They are
working there because they are capable and can compete with the best," he
said.
The youth acknowledged the appeal by the Congress leader
with cheers. Earlier, while campaigning, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had
highlighted the economic gains made by the state in the past five years and
Congress President Sonia Gandhi had touched on local issues like illegal mining
and illegal migration.
Rahul Gandhi said even though Congress has capable leaders,
it needs to produce the next generation of leaders from different states to
take the country forward. He also addressed election meetings at Mawkyrwat in
South West Khasi Hills and Williamnagar in East Garo Hills.
