Today, politics is devoid of kindness and truth. Many of us are disillusioned by politics of our time, the Congress president said.?
In his inagurual speech after taking over as Congress president, Rahul Gandhi attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies and alleged ''Modi is taking us back to the medieval times''.
''Congress took India to 21st century, but the PM, today, is taking us back to the medieval times,'' Congress president Rahul Gandhi said.
Gandhi scion said that if there is anyone who can stop what the BJP is doing, it is the ' pyara karyakartaandneta ' of Congress.
''And if there is anyone who can stop what the BJP is doing, it is the 'pyara karyakarta & neta' of Congress. We are going to make Congress, grand old and young party. We will fight the politics of anger,'' he said.
Accusing the BJP of spreading the fire of violence across the country, Rahul Gandhi said once a fire breaks out it's difficult to douse it.
''You have an example in front of you, once a fire breaks out it is difficult to douse it, that is what we are telling the people of BJP, that if you set the nation on fire it will be difficult to control. Today BJP has spread the fire of violence across the country,''Rahul Gandhi said.
''We are now being compelled to imagine that businesses can be built without harmony that only one man himself is the voice of reason. Expertise, experience and knowledge can be cast aside for personal glory,'' he said.
Today, politics is devoid of kindness and truth. Many of us are disillusioned by politics of our time, the Congress president said.
Politics belongs to the people, but today politics is not being used for people. It is not being used to uplift people, but to crush them, he said.
