Addressing the convention of Bharose, Smt. Priyanka Gandhi said
I have come here for the first time, you do not know me.
You have come because you have faith in my family.
You have come because Nehru ji and Indira Gandhi ji had special respect for you.
I know everything about the stories here, your culture, your struggle.
The members of my household know your culture, struggles and challenges.
The most important thing in public life is trust.
When I came here, a sister had prepared ice cream for me since morning, but when I reached there she told me that you have to speak from the stage now, so don’t eat cold ice cream…
This is the trust of a sister, in a moment I developed a relationship with her.
A place is identified by three things:
respect of culture, respect of people and respect of people by the government.

For respecting nature, my grandmother Indira Gandhi used to respect you tribal brothers and sisters a lot.

The government is running on your trust, this government is respecting your hard work.
