Lok Sabha Elections 2019: Congress President Rahul Gandhi began his party campaign for Lok Sabha elections 2019 in Tamil Nadu, by women students in Chennai. Addressing women students at the Stella Maris College, he said the Congress will change the mood of the country and make people feel happy and empowered.
Gandhi, who asked students to refer to him as Rahul, said the law must apply to everybody and not be applied selectively.
He said this in response to a question on his brother-in-law Robert Vadra. In his informal interaction with the students, he also brought up the issue of the Rafale deal and reiterated his allegations about the pricing of the aircraft and the process.
"I will be the first person to say it... investigate Robert Vadra but also investigate Prime Minister Narendra Modi," he said.
Gandhi said the Congress would pass the women's reservation bill it if it comes to power.
He asked the gathering, "Did you like demonetisaton?" When the audience answered, "No", he said, "I think it's pretty clear the damage demonetisaton did. PM should have taken your advice."
