 Our esteemed guests for the day is anticipated to clear the paths for the Indian tribal people. However, I hope everyone is aware that Mr. Rahul and his father, Mr. Rajiv Gandhiji, visited Lungle back in 1987. And today, the residents of Lungle gives a felicitous welcome to Mr. Rahul, much more than back in 1987. At the same time, our memories flow to the hefty heart of our late Prime Minister, Mr. Rajiv Gandhiji, who architected the peace process between India and Mizoram. I won't squander it anytime since everyone is aware that Mr. Rahul had a tight schedule. So I shall call upon Reverend Bila Rinomah to offer our service to God's hand by reading the Bible and praying. I am so grateful to God who enables me to be here on this occasion and also thankful to our leaders who invite me to conduct these devotional hours. And I should say that I am very fortunate to sit together with Mr. Rahul Gandhiji and his friends, I should say. And many times, I have seen and watched the road so he had done. So I have seen many times the interaction he had done with the university students, seeing and listening his speech. I do hope that he will be our national leaders in near future. Yes, I hope. So let the Almighty God stand and to go forward. Mr. Rahul Gandhiji, I wish you to go forward in your political journey. Let the mighty blessings best upon you throughout your life. Thank you very much. In Bila Putnena Chia, Atsamju Len Aduvang, Zog Asin, Ramin Abochir Chuan Pui Pate Anin Thaks Jutin, when a country is rebellious, it has many rulers.

Hello, hello chair. Okay. Bhakta Charanthas ji, Lal Sautha ji, Ralte ji, leaders on the dais, candidates, party workers, friends from the media, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to welcome all of you here today. It's always a pleasure for me to come to Mizoram. It brings back old memories of mine from when I first came here in 1986. And at that time Mizoram was transitioning from violence to peace and harmony. And you got your statehood in 1987 so it's been quite a long journey. Of course, there are the younger generation here who has never seen violence in Mizoram. But I'm sure the older generation knows the cost of violence. So it's very important that we remember that any progress is always built on peace and harmony. Some months ago I walked from Kanyakumari to Kashmir on the Bharat Jodo Yatra. And the idea was to fight the hate-filled ideology of the RSS and the BJP. The ideology of the RSS is a direct threat to the Union of India. For us, each state has its culture, its tradition, its religious practices. And for us, these are the foundations of the idea of India. For us in India, where people are scared to practice their religion, where people are scared to speak their language, where people are scared to follow the tradition, is not in India we're interested in. And if one looks carefully across the country, one can find already the results of the ideology of the BJP. And possibly one of the best examples of what the ideology of the BJP can do is what has happened in Manipur. Hundreds of people have died, countless women have been molested, children have been killed, property has been burnt, but the Prime Minister of India still has not visited Manipur. It is almost as if the state of Manipur is not part of India, that the Prime Minister does not think it important to go and visit it. So I want to state right at the beginning of my speech that the single most important thing for us in the Congress party is the protection of the tradition, the language, the religion of the people of Mizoram. And for the youngsters of Mizoram, if you want to judge who is fighting the BJP, please look at who the BJP attacks. The BJP has no problem with the ZPF or the MNF, ZPM sorry. They are perfectly happy if either of these two parties rule Mizoram. And there is a reason for that, which every young person in Mizoram should understand. The BJP and the RSS view the MNF as an entry point into Mizoram. They know that if either of these parties is ruling Mizoram, their work can continue in the state. Please realise that they plan for the long term. So a vote to the MNF is actually a vote to the BJP. And it's the same because you have to understand that these parties will deal with the BJP. They are perfectly happy to have a relationship with the BJP. The Congress party ideologically can never have a relationship with the BJP. And it is impossible for us. Because the core of our DNA is ideologically opposed to the core of their DNA. And that is what the BJP and the RSS want to exploit. They are perfectly happy that one of these parties runs Mizoram. So they can continue their work of attacking your culture, your religion, your traditions. At the same time it's also important for you to understand what these political parties are offering the people of Mizoram. And the record of the MNF is in front of everybody to see. Complete failure to crack down on drugs. 250 young lives extinguished in five years. At the same time the MNF openly supports those that are attacking the idea of Mizoram. They have overseen a disaster in healthcare where they have failed to release the funds that belong to you. And you can see the state of the infrastructure, the state of the roads in the state. From our perspective it is very important that we place in front of the people of Mizoram a vision for the state. And we have a record to demonstrate that. The MNF in 1995, Rajiv Gandhi stadium in 2010, Mizoram state cancer institute, Mizoram medical college, New land use policy in 2011. So I am not speaking empty words here. And if you look at the states where we are governing, Rajasthan, Karnataka and Chattisgarh, we can see that for each one of these states we are providing a vision for the future. In Rajasthan we have one of the best healthcare systems in the country. The poorest people can access 25 lakh rupees for treatment of any disease. Free medicines. And it doesn't matter if you have heart disease, cancer, diabetes, anything. People treated in Rajasthan for free. In the rest of the country our sisters pay 1000 rupees for a cylinder of gas in Rajasthan. They pay 500 rupees. In Karnataka we have set up the best social security system in the country. 2000 rupees every month to women. Free bus travel for women. Money directly being transferred into the bank accounts of farmers. These are some of the ideas that we have successfully introduced in Karnataka. Chattisgarh farmers get the best rate for paddy in the country. 2500 rupees a quintal. And at the same time we have opened 377 English medium schools for the poorest people of Chattisgarh. In the same way we want to propose to the people of Mizoram a vision going forward. After demonetization and a flawed GST it has become very difficult for the people of Mizoram to get employment. The demonetization and GST are designed to help the richest people in the land like Mr. Adani. That is why we have proposed Tung Punea, economic empowerment for our entrepreneurs. Direct support to small businesses, financial support, banking support, technological support. And as our PCC president stated we are going to reduce the price of cylinders to 750 rupees. And a government that does not protect its elders is not a government that is doing its job. That is why we are going to give age old pension of 2000 rupees a month to all our senior citizens. From my perspective the most important thing is that one listens to the people of Mizoram. I am less interested in telling you my monkey-bath and more interested in listening to your monkey-bath. So anytime you need my help in anything I am available to you. My relationship and my family's relationship with you is not a new one. As I said when I first started my speech I came here in 1986 as a 16 year old boy. Of course as people of Mizoram it is your duty to protect your culture, your tradition, your history, your religion. But as someone who is emotionally connected to you who considers himself as a family member it is also my duty to protect your religion, your culture, your tradition and your history. Frankly I do not know any other way than that one. For me the real asset of India is your tradition, your culture, your history, your religion. Our diversity is our biggest strength. Our different religions, different traditions, different languages these are all our strengths not our weaknesses. So please consider me as your partner and your soldier in Delhi. And finally I'd like to leave you with the most important thought. The BJP and the RSS want their idea to enter Mizoram. They know that if they come directly the Mizo people will reject them in one second. So they need partners to enter Mizoram. And that is what the MNF and ZPM are. They are partners that will allow the BJP to infiltrate their idea into Mizoram. Their leaders have publicly stated that they will work with the BJP. So you should keep that in mind when you are voting that you are not helping those that are going to harm your culture, your religion, your tradition. This is a long term ideological battle and it's very clear that the ideological fight is between the Congress and the RSS. They want an India which is centralized, which runs from Delhi, which is fully controlled by Mr. Narendra Modi and the RSS. And we want an India which is run by the people of India. So please think about that when you vote for your next government. Thank you very much for coming here. It is always a pleasure for me to come to Mizoram and talk to you and see you and meet you. And I am looking forward to touring Mizoram more extensively like my father did many years ago. Thank you. Thank you Mr. Rahulji for your insightful and beneficial comment.
