A charged Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi Friday said that "change" is taking place in the country and the party needs to meet the "aspirations" of the common man, who want a "fair deal".
"This is not just another election to be fought. This is a turning point for India and no one is willing to compromise," said Rahul Gandhi at the AICC meet.
"Everybody wants participation and a fair deal. This is the reality. The change that has taken place around us is unstoppable," he said at the packed Talkatora Stadium.
"What does this mean for us as a political party? It means responding to the change which only the Congress party is capable of. We do not respond by subverting democratic institutions and blocking parliamentary sessions year after year.
"By turning people against each other, by lighting the fire of communal hatred. By proposing the structure of democracy be handed over to one man. We respond from the sole of the values on which the nation was build," he added.
