Address of MP Shri Rahul Gandhi
,
Welcome all of you here. You came in this heat. Gave your valuable time. I am grateful to you for this.
Our work to connect people is to open a shop of love in the market of hatred.
We fulfilled the promises we had made in Chhattisgarh. Gave fair prices to farmers. Debt forgiven Electricity bill halved.
Farmers were given the right price for paddy in Chhattisgarh. Today, look at all the states, make a list, where you get the most money for paddy. Chhattisgarh will get the answer.
We clearly showed that there is money and we fulfilled the promise to the farmers. Wherever we go we keep our promises.
Youth, you all have a big responsibility. You should come forward in running the state. You go ahead. That’s why we have created Rajiv Yuva Mitan Club for you.
Every club is getting one lakh rupees. We have added three lakh youth to the club.
We have included these so that you can participate in running the territory. We want to open the doors of politics for you. In a few years, MLAs and Pradhans should be elected from among you.
We brought PESA law for the tribal brothers. Protected your land. Tribal means you were the first owner of the land of this country. It means you have rights on your land, forest and water.
We are Indians first and foremost. We all have to connect with each other and live with love and respect. This is the oldest message that we gave in Bharat Jodo Yatra. A few years ago, I said one thing to Mr. Baghel, wherever I go, I ask the youth what is their biggest difficulty. They say unemployment, I told Mr. Baghel that there are different skills in Chhattisgarh. In every district you make something different. Small entrepreneurs are not able to get bank linkage. I told Chief Minister Mr. Baghel ji that your focus should be on these.
, It should be marketed, I am happy that Baghel ji has started work on it. This will provide employment to lakhs of youth. Chhattisgarh is the center of the country. You should become the logistic center of the country. You should prepare infrastructure so that Chhattisgarh can become the logistics center of India. You connect the world with Chhattisgarh. With this, the products of Chhattisgarh will go not only to India but also to the world. I think the government of Chhattisgarh has done a very good job.
The country cannot move forward with hatred and violence. The country’s economy does not grow through violence. When everyone is brought together the country comes together.
, You all came here and listened to me so patiently. The future of Chhattisgarh is yours. You have to shape the future of Chhattisgarh.
