There’s a serious problem back home: Rahul to Indians in Bahrain

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ In his first address to NRIs outside India after taking over as Congress president, Rahul Gandhi accused the government of dividing people on the basis of caste and religion, alleging it was converting the anger of jobless youth into hatred among communities.

Gandhi also assured the NRI community that he would give a “new shining Congress party” in the next six months, hinting that there will be dramatic changes in the organisation, in which the people will believe in and trust.

Noting that there was a “serious problem” in the country, he urged NRIs help solve the problem and be a part of this restructuring. He also exuded confidence that the Congress will defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2019 as it had the strength and capability to do so, while noting that the saffron party merely scraped through in recent elections in Gujarat, which is their fortress.

Addressing NRIs at the meeting of Global Organisation of People of Indian Origin, the Congress president gave his vision for the country saying his top three priorities would be to create jobs, good health infrastructure and an education system.
