We never opposed any move by the government which is helpful for the country and the people. Because, the country is supreme for us" he said. Reiterating the need to change and cleanse the political system Rahul Gandhi said "We have to open the door of the system for all. We will have to listen to the lakhs people are assembled here. They are the future and we should give them a chance to become the leaders of tomorrow. If we want the country to surge ahead, we the Congress party, should open our doors for the youth and common people. Only we can do it. The opposition can only create obstructions". While concluding his address Rahul Gandhi said "I am confident that our country will stand up and the entire world will appreciate us. The youth here will show not just India but also the whole world the way forward. The Congress will help them by giving space in our political journey".
