Rahul Gandhi the former MP and Congress leader said that when he joined politics in 2000, he never imagined this is what he would go through.
What he sees is going on now is way outside anything that he had thought when he joined politics.
Talking about his disqualification from Lok Sabha as a Member of Parliament, Gandhi, 52, said he didn’t imagine that something like this was possible.
He was talking with a group of people in America at Stanford.
Rahul said:”But then I think it’s actually given me a huge opportunity. Probably much bigger than the opportunity I would have. That’s just the way politics works, he said.
“I think the drama started really, about six months ago. We were struggling. The entire opposition is struggling in India. Huge financial dominance. Institutional capture.
We’re struggling to fight the democratic fight in our country, he said, adding that at this point in time, he decided to go for the Bharat Jodo Yatra’.
“I am very clear, our fight is ours fight, he said. But there is a group of young students from India here. I want to have a relationship with them and want to talk to them.
Rahul stated:It’s my right to do it, he said during his interaction with Indian students and academicians of Indian origin at the University here.
He also emphasised in his frequent foreign trips like this, he is not seeking support from anybody.
“I don’t understand why the prime minister doesn’t come here and do it, Gandhi asked amidst applause from the audience who had packed the entire auditorium at Stanford.
