Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi has communicated with the students at one of the American Universities. Rahul Gandhi's visit to America for two weeks on the target was India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Rahul Gandhi, speaking at the University of California, Berkeley, said that the politics of division and polarization is isolating the people of India and making them radical.
When asked about Rahul Gandhi's candidature for a prime ministerial candidate, he said that he is fully prepared to be the Prime Ministerial candidate for his party in the 2019 elections.
However, he also said that the decision on this is to take the Congress.
While being the Prime Minister of India in 1949, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru also gave a speech in this university. Rahul Gandhi is from the fourth generation of the Nehru-Gandhi family.
The key points of Gandhi's speech
- The idea of nonviolence unites the nations, religions and languages of India. One thought that Mahatma Gandhi developed in a beautiful but powerful political weapon.
- No matter whatsoever about India's democracy, there is no nation in human history, which has brought people out of poverty in such a large number.
- So far our strength is that whatever we have achieved, we have done peacefully. The politics of hate, anger and polarization will ruin the pace of our economic development.
- People are being killed due to being Dalit, Muslims are being killed in the question of eating beef. This is new to India. This is causing huge loss to India. Tens of millions of people in India feel that there is no future in this country. It is very dangerous in today's connected world. It separates people and brings them into the grip of fundamentalist ideas.
- In 2012, there was a kind of clamor in the Congress and the Congressmen had reduced communication with the common people.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi also does not talk to those with whom he works, including MPs. This is what the people of BJP told me.
- There is a big machinery which spreads maliciously about me throughout the day and it is running the person who has our country in his hands.
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a good speaker. He is a better person than me.
