"Don't Compare Me With...": Rahul Gandhi On Congress's Past

Rahul Gandhi said:"What Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi did, they became martyrs, they did well... But the Congress should not dwell on it at every meeting. We should focus on what we are going to do"

Congress's Rahul Gandhi had an unambiguous message for the party worker and supporters today. No more sycophancy or resting on past laurels, indicated the leader, whose Bharat Jodo Yatra is currently passing through Rajasthan. मैं अपने कांग्रेस पार्टी के मित्रों से थोड़ी कड़ी बात कहना चाहता हूं।इंदिरा गांधी जी और राजीव गांधी जी ने अच्छा काम किया... लेकिन कांग्रेस को हर मीटिंग में यह दोहराना नहीं चाहिए।हमें अब ये बोलना चाहिए कि हम जनता के लिए क्या करेंगे। यह ज्यादा जरूरी है।- @RahulGandhi जी pic.twitter.com/0VyYfb478S

Mr Gandhi, it appeared, had taken exception to a leader comparing him to Mahatma Gandhi. "

"This is totally wrong. We are not in the same league and there should be no comparison. He was a great man. He devoted his life to fighting for the country's freedom, stayed in jail for 10-12 years. Nobody can fill his shoes and my name should not be taken along with his," said the 52-year-old.

Then came the "tough" message.
