At Congress plenary, Rahul Gandhi says UPA-II let people down: Top 10 quotes

Centuries ago there was huge battle on the field of Kurukshetra. The Kauravas were powerful and arrogant. The Pandavas were humble and fought for the truth.

Like the Kauravas, BJP and RSS are designed to fight for power, but like the Pandavas, Congress is designed to fight for the truth.

I don't say it with happiness, but the last govt we formed did not stand up to the expectations of the people. The people of the country were let down by us.

They tell Muslims of India who never went to Pakistan and supported this great nation that you don't belong here. They tell the Tamils change your beautiful language, they tell people of northeast we don't like what you eat, tell women dress properly or will thrash you...

What does Modi actually mean? The name Modi symbolises the collusion between India's biggest crony capitalists and the prime minister of India.

They told Gauri Lankesh and Kalburgi, question us and you will die. They tell our honest businessman to shut up and allow corrupt officers to extort their hard earned money. They tell our farmers to work for nothing.

BJP is voice of an organisation, Congress is voice of a nation. Gandhiji spent 15 years in jail and died for India. India must never forget that when our leader was sleeping on the floor in a British jail, their leader Mr Savarkar was writing to the British begging for mercy.

The PM diverts our attention and jumps from one event to another from Gabbar Singh tax to yoga in Parliament and never talks about the issues.

No one, no matter how much powerful can silence us, the Congress party, from speaking the truth.

We have to change Congress. There is a wall between our leaders and workers. My first task will be to break that wall. I will consult senior leaders to destroy that wall with love.
