"In Niayamgiri, Odisha," Rahul Gandhi said, "the tribals told him that the hill the used to worship as god was suddenly given away to Vedanta without the approval of the panchayat.  We want the whole of India to progress. We don't want half the India to weep, and the remaining half to progress", he said.

Rahul Gandhi explained how corruption can be eradicated by bringing about changes in the system.

"There are nearly 750 members in Parliament, and nearly 4,500 members in state legislatures. These people are handpicked not by the aam aadmi, but by a cabal of 200 to 300 persons in various political parties.

"Until and unless, 50,000 to nearly  10 lakh people decide who their representative will be, corruption will remain. Because the people know whether the person they are choosing is corrupt or not", said Rahul Gandhi.

"In the coming years, BJP leaders will take credit for introducing MNREGA and even Food Security Act", Rahul Gandhi said.
