Andhra Pradesh News :

“WHY ARE politicians not interested in interacting with youngsters, who have so many ideas?”, asked a student to Rahul Gandhi in Vijayawada. Rahul’s reply was very simple. He said, “I don’t know but I have come here to know your ideas”.

Rahul’s programme was confined to only Vijayawada on Wednesday, November 18, as weather has not been conducive to his plans of travelling to Warangal and Tirupati. In Vijayawada, he participated in an interaction programme with Andhra Layola college students at the college auditorium. Nearly two thousand students were present in the session which lasted for an hour.

Some pupils asked Rahul about the reservation issue, commenting that these have been continuing for decades. He replied that the policy as such, was introduced by our elders with a view to uplift some poorer social sections and there was a need to continue it for some years.

Most of the students were happy to meet him at such an informal level. One of them even remarked, that Rahul Gandhi, son of late Prime minister Rajiv Gandhi and Congress chairperson Sonia Gandhi, behaved an ordinary man without any ego and had listened to them in a patient manner.
