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.
