Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally at Koraput, Orissa on March 31, 2014.

Accusing the state government of Odisha of diverting funds meant for the poor, tribal and weaker sections of the society, Rahul Gandhi vowed to fight their battles along with them. Speaking at a massive public rally in Nabrangpur, 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.

    Congress President, Smt. Sonia Gandhi Addressing a Public Rally at Balasore, Orissa on April 11, 2014

    'What is the path of our principal opponent, the BJP? Its path is to divide the society and people on the basis of communities. It promotes violence,' said Smt. Sonia Gandhi

    'Such ideology will harm the country. It will harm you and all of us. Now we have an opportunity to elect a new government which is committed to people of all castes, religions and communities. Such governance can only be given by the Congress,' she said.

    Hitting out at Odisha's ruling party Biju Janata Dal (BJD) for neglecting the poor, common man and farmers, Mrs Sonia Gandhi said the central government provided thousands of crores of rupees in assistance to the state government under different programmes but they were not implemented properly.

    'Nearly 4,000 farmers were forced to commit suicide because of the anti-farmer policy of the BJD government. Under the central government scheme, farmers were supposed to be given bonus but the state government did not implement it,' Mrs Gandhi said.

    Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally in Dibrugarh, Assam on March 27, 2014.
    Addressing a mega rally in Dibrugarh Rahul Gandhi continued his attack on the opposition. Rahul Gandhi said that BJP's big balloon of 'India Shining' had exploded in the past, and this new balloon of 'Gujarat Model' that the party has created will also burst, with more intensity than the previous one.
    'BJP needs to realize that the Gujarat model will not work in the entire country. Under the BJP-AGP government, Assam grew only at 2 percent, with limited development, but under the Congress, the growth rate has been 13 percent. Every state is different and needs its own model to succeed,' he said. 'We want to empower you, which is why we have established 6 Autonomous Councils and 18 Development Councils and put power in your hands. The Centre has also established IIT, IIIT, NID, RGIPT, three medical colleges, and a Central University for Assam' he added.

    Addressing large public rally in Saharanpur, Rahul Gandhi condemned the harsh words used by the party candidate from Saharanpur and punctured the hollow claims of the opposition.

    Attacking the opposition he said, 'After two failed attempts, the BJP is making another sequel of the 'India Shining' movie called the Gujarat Development model. And just like in 2004 and 2009 when the people of India burst the 'India Shining' balloon, people will burst this balloon yet again.'

    Condemning the language used by Shri Imran Masood before he joined the Congress Party, some six months ago, Rahul Gandhi said, 'This is not the way of the Congress Party. I will tell you what the way of the Congress Party is. In a recent rally, the opposition leader said about me, 'He isn't even fit to become a driver'. But we must not react with anger. We believe in the politics of love and we must defeat the politics of anger. We must fight against those who play the politics of anger and hatred and defeat them.'

    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.
