Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally at Nabarangpur, Orissa on March 31, 2014.
Speaking at a massive public rally Rahul Gandhi said, 'Odisha has money, natural resources, forests and water. It is a rich state, but the people are poor. The state government takes your money and gives it to the industrialists. They don't use it for building schools for you, or providing education, health and jobs.'
He added that the Congress led UPA government had made special allocation of funds for the welfare of tribal people, but the BJD government has diverted these funds to other things. 'The job of the government is to help you. You should have a railway line. The water which should be used for irrigation is diverted for industrial uses,' he said.
Rahul Gandhi emphasized that while the industry needs resources, it should not come at the cost of farmers and there is a need for balanced development.
Sharing the vision of the Congress Party that seeks to remove poverty from India, he asked the people to join the Congress in this fight. Expressing happiness over the presence of women in the rallies, he assured the women that the Congress Party will make full efforts to ensure 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha.

Addressing a public rally in Bhatapada ground in Cuttack district of Odisha on February 9, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi said, 'Odisha is perhaps the country's richest state in terms of its reserves of natural resources, but the people of Odisha continue to remain poor.' He said it's because benefits of mining had not reached the people.
'Rs 60,000 crore worth of iron ore and manganese ore have been looted in Odisha...its benefit should have reached the people of Odisha. But sadly, only a select few -- including the mining mafia -- have benefited from it.'
He also said, 'No government has provided as much funds to Odisha as the UPA, but nothing has reached you. Everything was siphoned off by the state government.'
The Congress Vice President said, '10 lakh people in Odisha are unemployed, but the state government is doing nothing.' He pointed out that 22 of the state's 30 districts are affected by Maoist / Naxal activities.

Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally in Aurangabad, Maharashtra on March 5, 2014.
There he said, 'I feel proud to be here in the brave land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Chhatrapati Shaahuji Maharaj and respected Bheem Rao Ambedkar.' Rahul Gandhi talked about the growth of Maharashtra and said 'Maharashtra is on the top developing states in the country with greater contribution GDP and maximum collection of FDI. You have more industries. Maharashtra develops fast because of its people. They work hard and your leaders are not wasting time on marketing.'
'In the last ten years of the rule of the Congress-led UPA Government at the Centre, about 14 crore people could come out of the poverty. We could accomplish this historic achievement with the help of our policies like MNREGA, Food Security Act, loan-waiving scheme and by providing maximum MSP for farmers' crops. At present, there is a new class emerging - just above the BPL line but below the middle class. Our focus now will be to take this new group to the middle class category.' he said.
Rahul Gandhi also mentioned that everyone is talking about India becoming super power. But India cannot be a super power until we ensure that the 50% of our population -- the women- is empowered.

Rahul Gandhi addressed a Public Rally at Bastar, Chattisgarh on March 31, 2014.
'Congress party works for everyone, for tribals, poor, Dalits and the downtrodden. For us, Hindus and Muslims are equal. We consider everyone equal,' he said at a public meeting in Kondagaon district headquarters of Bastar Lok Sabha constituency.
Rahul Gandhi said Congress always focused on empowering tribals, the poor and the downtrodden, while the BJP had 'no heart' for tribals and the poor.
Describing Chhattisgarh as a rich land of poor people, he said the state is bestowed with natural resources but its benefits do not reach the common man.
Attacking BJP over corruption, he said the party had turned a blind eye towards corruption in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.
'They say that they are fighting against corruption. Don't they see corruption in Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh? Their Karnataka chief minister was jailed due to corruption, while in Gujarat, three ministers went to jail,' Rahul Gandhi said.
He said the UPA government's major programmes were based on development of the poor, of which MNREGA is an example under which lakhs of people benefited.

Rahul Gandhi addressed a huge public rally in Balasinor, Kheda Gujarat on March 11, 2014.
Rahul Gandhi in his speech said the opposition was in the habit of opposing the people centric policies of the Congress Party, and subsequently trying to take credit for the successful initiatives. He said when the Congress ushered the IT revolution, the opposition in its short sightedness had claimed that technology would harm the youth, and take away jobs, but when the revolution became a success, the same opposition claimed that they were responsible for bringing computers to India.
'The BJP has been talking about eradicating corruption, and the progress that Gujarat has seen under its current leadership. But then why are there tainted ministers, who have been in jail still in power in Gujarat and Karnataka? Why is there no RTI commissioner in the state? And why has the BJP opposed the anti-corruption bills in the Parliament?', said Rahul Gandhi.
He said that the claims made by BJP, about the Gujarat model of development, are questionable. 'They talk about Gujarat shining, but that is not true of the poor in Gujarat. Rs.11 defines the poverty line, children are dying of malnutrition, and land has been taken away from farmers. This is the same party that opposed the Right to Food bill in the Parliament because they thought it meant waste of money', said Rahul Gandhi.
