Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally at Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh on May 1, 2014.

Stating that the current elections reflected a fight between two ideologies, Rahul Gandhi contrasted the party's thinking that weaker sections of society have led to India's growth with that of the opposition, which believes that the country has not progressed in the last 60 years.

'We are fighting a battle of truth against lies. Just as the Pandavs fought against the Kauravas in Mahabharat, we are fighting the opposition, which wants India to remain in disparity. In Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh, they gave away land at Re. 1 per meter. Your land was taken away to benefit a few businessmen. We work for the entire nation. In the last 10 years, for the first time, 15 crore people were raised above the poverty line,' he said at a massive rally in Bilaspur..
