Rahul Gandhi strikes emotional chord with the youth in Punjab


Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi struck an emotional chord with the youth during his address at the Punjab University campus in a function organized by the NSUI. “It is the people in front of me who are our human resources. The nation gets the strength from you, the youth, to surge ahead in this 21st century. We move forward adhering to the principles of democracy. I have been active in politics since the last eight years and I am clear on one point. There is no enough involvement and participation of the youth in the political process. You have solutions to all the issues related to jobs, corruption or development. You also have the idea, knowledge and wisdom on how to run our system; but the doors of politics are closed for you” said the Congress leader.  
Explaining the efforts to democratize the NSUI and Youth Congress, Rahul Gandhi said “We have opened the doors in NSUI and Youth Congress for you. As a result now we have a number of youth, who have no relatives or friends in the Congress, as active members of these outfits. When we talked about democratic elections in the NSUI and Youth Congress, many of our opponents had laughed at us. But we showed them how to do it; not only in Punjab but in the entire country. We did it because we want more and more youth to join politics, cleanse the system and bring in positive changes”.
