Speaking at the rally, Rahul had said that Congress has passed the Food Security Bill and Land Bill to empower the weaker sections of the society. The party wants the poor to live their dreams, claimed Rahul who earlier had expressed his desire to sacrificed his own dreams for the countrymen.

"Congress wants the poor to live their dreams. The party works for the aam aadmi not for a select few. India can move forward only if the poor can realise their dreams," said Rahul.

"I would ask the women who have come here to see the world's biggest dream for their children....... So, I am standing here because I believe that you, the poor people and the women, who have come here, are the country's biggest strength. If this country will move ahead, then, it will be do so only with your dreams. And, if we do not allow you to see those dreams, then, this nation cannot move ahead," added Rahul.
