He also utilised the occasion to tell the prime minister that government should raise the number of subsidised LPG cylinders from nine to 12, an issue on which the party MPs have already been campaigning.
Rahul said the coming elections are a turning point in the country's journey and the Congress should transform itself by catering to the aspirations of the common man and ordinary worker.
“The option before us is not whether to change but when and how to change,” he said to a thunderous applause from the delegates.
Rahul also made a veiled attack on Aam Aadmi Party when he said the opposition is good at marketing their wares.

In what can be considered as AAP effect, Rahul said 15 per cent of the Lok Sabha seats in his party will be given to candidates on the basis of decision by pradhans and Congress workers.
