Hitting out at the Opposition parties for calling his visit to dalit homes as “madness”, Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he will continue to indulge in such an act all his life.
“Leaders of Opposition parties travel in helicopters and AC vehicles, they feel ashamed in coming to your homes, share food and drink water,” he told rallies in the two districts in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.
“When I visit your homes, eat and stay, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Mayawati term it as madness. If visiting houses of the poor and enquiring about their well being is madness, I will do this all my life,” Mr Gandhi said. The BJP ruled Uttar Pradesh for five years, but “India Shining” was nowhere visible in the state, he said.
