“You May Hate Me, Hurl Abuses At Me But I Have No Hate For You”- 5 Important Quotes From Rahul Gandhi’s Speech

During the debate over the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha today, Congress President Rahul Gandhi delivered a fiery speech against the Modi government.

Here are 5 key quotes from his speech:

1. “Wherever you see in this country, some Indian is being murdered, beaten up or oppressed. But the Prime Minister does not say a word.”

2. “For reasons that everybody knows here, the Prime Minister and the President of the BJP can simply not afford to lose power. Because the moment they lose power, other processes will start against them. So the Prime Minister and his President act out of fear, and this fear generates anger and it is this anger… that is attempting to crush every voice in India.”

3. “When your ministers talk about changing the constitution, they are attacking Ambedkar ji and the whole of India. And we will not tolerate this.”

4. “You (TDP MP Jayadev Gala) are the victim of a 21st-century political weapon. The weapon is called the jumla strike. The symptoms of the jumla strike are, first there is a great sense of happiness and excitement. Then there is shock. After that, there is an eight-hour-long speech. Kisans, youth, Dalits, tribals and women of the country are all victims.”

5. “You may hate me, you may be angry at me; you may even call me pappu. You can hurl abuses at me but I do not have any anger or hate for you. I am Congress, and all of them (the Opposition) are the Congress. This feeling and the Congress have built this nation. And you should never forget that.”
