Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, the general secretary of the AICC in charge of eastern Uttar Pradesh, addressed the public at her first rally since assuming office, in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. Here are a few key quotes:
– This country is built on the foundation of love and compassion. What is happening in the country today makes me sad.
– There is no greater act of patriotism than being aware. Your awareness is a weapon. Your vote is a weapon. But this is a weapon that must not be used to hurt people, to make someone suffer. This is a weapon that will make you stronger.
- You have to think deeply about what this election is; about what you are about to choose.

– You are here to choose your future. Unnecessary issues should not be raised. The most critical issues are those that concern how you will move forward; about how the youth will get employment; about women’s safety; about what can be done for farmers. These are the main issues, and only your awareness can bring these forward.
– Question all those who have made grand promises to you. The two crore employment that was promised to you, what happened to that? Ask them about the Rs 15 lakhs that were supposed to be in your account? Has anyone asked the women they promised to protect?
– It is the nature of this country to find the truth in every particle. It is the nature of this country to change the winds of hate into love and compassion.
– Our institutions are being destroyed. Wherever you look, you see hatred being spread. For you and I, there can be no greater duty than to protect this country and work for this country.
