Rahul Ji spoke very matured and with full of sense. This is the sort of politician that India needs and certainly Rahul Ji could take India to greater heights from the present situation.

[muktisanyal]

Fantastic insights into the new articulate Rahul Gandhi!! Congratulations to the organizers on making this possible!!!

Love is an Action, well said Rahul, loved it.
God bless.

I loved the analagy of India as an Ocean. I would be delighted to have him as a PM.

[adishylender]

Very matured speech by RAHAUL, So much of love for Nation and the people of India. He answered all the complicated questions with his excellence. He could be a face of PM for a 21st century of India.

A new leader emerged from the ashes. God bless you!
You need to re-engineer your party. Untie the nuts and bolts and replace with new one. Include the new generation for a great revival of party and the nation.

[kumarpradeep]

What a flow of words, reflecting his thoughts!!! Absolutely amazing. The reason why BJP and some regional parties is that once Congress wins, Rahul Gandhi takes over as PM, they can no longer compete him in politics. Rahul Gandhi is with people- people who suffer most, regardless color, creed, caste. He loves every Indians, and Indians will return the love back to him, and that will be the end of BJP and those regional parties disliking him

There is much that unites us and little that divides us. Excellent interview

[indratantiatantia-wpql]

Shri rahul gandhi is a fearless straight forward honest and outspoken leader with a vision for india as well as concern for the ordinary indian i masses like his father late shri rajiv gandhi . He has experienced and understood the reality of indian people's knowledge as well as their sufferings painful lifestyle and day to day struggle to survive during his bharat jodo yatra .his warm welcome in srinagar was remarkable and memorable .may god bless him in his new journey .

[oommachen]

the theme of love which Mahatma Gandhi took from the beatitudes in the gospel of Matthew percolates down, only that can truly transform!

[afzalshaikh]

Love is an Action, well said Mr. Rahul, loved it, God bless and we are learn from this interview too much and lots of views of india 🇮🇳 love from kuwait 🇰🇼

[sampadavinod]

Anjali, loved the way you moderated the interview. I live in Bombay too and I can relate to your Bollywood one liners.

On Rahul Gandhi, having seen his political journey and other leaders from opposition, I can say only one thing that he is a very very genuine guy with right intent. He is evolving and getting better and better. He is decent, sauve, highly Intelligent, educated and most importantly very transparent in his intentions!

God bless him and give more power to him!

[rnmughal]

" love isnt a feeling, its a action which create feeling of love "
RaGa🇮🇳💞🙏

[mymalobo]

Thank you Rahulji Gandhi, to the point, well said!

[Sarkasou]

It's not easy to spread love for someone who lost 2 of his loved one. I would surely love to see you as my PM 🙏

[Madhukar]

Such a profound understanding of dynamics of democracy and burning desire to do something for people. It is not important wether he wins or loses in politics, he certainly has made his mark on world politics. And this mark is opposed to Modis and Erdogans, Trumps Putins.

[mmax]

If people look above caste and creed then they will know the importance of this person. Very good and meaningful conversation 👏👏

[Bharatdeshpremi]

We love you Rahulji. Silent & passive majorities are all with you. You don’t have to worry about you MP status. It will come to you hands down. This time even from Amethi.

[pbghosh]

Bharat Jodo Y/Jatra has been key to Rahul ji's emergence as a personally and emotionally extremely secured individual to lead people. Karnataka success is one of the by-products of BJY/J and whatever to follow from here.
