Video released
In a video shared by Rahul on Thursday, he can be heard saying, my goal is to hand over the command of the Congress to OBCs, Dalits, Adivasis. This is your weapon. I do not like it when I see injustice being done to backward and extremely backward communities.
He said that my effort is to ensure that the extremely backward people in Bihar and North India get respect and their history is respected. I want to strengthen the roots of the extremely backward community, which the BJP-RSS are trying to weaken.
Rahul said that the people of the community are not in the bureaucracy, media, corporate India, higher judiciary or the generals of the armed forces. The solution to your problems is caste census and the day it is done, your community will realize that you do not have a share according to the population.
You should fight for power - Rahul Gandhi
He further said that the big question is how will you enter the power system of the country. It is not enough to have only a few MLAs from your community. You are not fighting for power, but for representation. You should fight for power.
