Jorhat (Assam): Rahul Gandhi’s two day visit to Assam ended with love being bestowed on him in abundance.
On Wednesday, over 600 women gathered to catch glimpses of Congress vice-president in Assam.
Excited to see Rahul in person, one woman could not stop herself from kissing him on his forehead while the other landed a peck on his cheek. A visibly embarrassed Rahul was seen smiling when these ladies kissed him.
Rahul discussed issues like women security and reservation for women with the gathering.
Stressing the need to offer more opportunities to women, Rahul said, "We always try to give some top posts like President, Prime Minister, chief minister, MP and MLA to women. We also want them to get top powerful positions in all sectors. We hope women will come forward in all sectors and be powerful,"
“India would become a developed nation if women get equal rights in this country, added Rahul
Replying to a question on the withdrawal of Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act from the state, Rahul said, "I am inspired by Mahatma Gandhi that any conflict can be resolved through discussions, love and peace. You cannot solve problems without discussing them and by using force against these people. They must have the power to do what they want to chart out their own destiny and fulfill their dreams.”
