Congress is a pro-poor party: Rahul Gandhi

Kushinagar (Uttar Pradesh), Apr 4: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Friday, Apr 3 said that his party is a pro-poor party.

Addressing a public rally at Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh, Rahul highlighted that the recent Nuke-deal was also for the benefit of poor.

"For your benefit, we have done the nuclear deal, which will provide you electricity in future. We work for poor but our opponents don't speak for them. This is poll time and several slogans would be raised. This time the BJP has raised a slogan on terrorism. They say Congress party and Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh do not fight terror," he said.

Rahul, who is a major draw among the youngsters, said that he has faith in the potential of the youth to bring change in the country.

"If Uttar Pradesh has to be changed, India has to be changed. Youth can bring that change," he said.
