“But when the economy is doing better, the spread of hatred is limited. And when the economic condition is in bad shape, it (the spread of hatred) increases. Like now, the economic condition is bad and hatred is spreading,” Rahul Gandhi said.
“What happened in Mewat, people faced huge losses. Everything is closed, schools are closed,” Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav, who was also present at the family gathering, said.
“What your parents and grandparents took the country on a righteous path. Today’s generation should not forget that,” Lalu Prasad Yadav told Rahul Gandhi.
