New Delhi: The UPA government has changed the development paradigm in India by enacting rights-based legislation, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi said on Tuesday.
At a function held here to confer freehold rights on residents of 45 resettlement colonies, Rahul Gandhi said giving rights-based legislation was a guarantee of progress.
"Nobody will go hungry. This is the guarantee," Rahul Gandhi said highlighting the food security bill, passed by parliament, as a major achievement of the central government headed by the Congress, which is also at the helm in the capital, which goes to polls this year-end.
Reaching out to the common man, he said the Congress wanted to fulfil the dreams of those who toiled hard.
"In the last 10 years, we have changed the development paradigm. We are giving rights (to people)," he said.
Speaking in the same vein as his mother Sonia Gandhi, who pushed the food security bill in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said the party will implement the bill even if it was construed as wastage of money by certain sections.
