Bring change in the remotest parts of India: Rahul to entrepreneurs

Bengaluru, Mar 18 (UNI): Congress president Rahul Gandhi has said he may not have become either a technocrat or an young entrepreneur, but had traveled the distance in the county where no young techies could go to hear the voice of the people and it was time budding start-up proponents look beyond the business to visit these remote places.

Rahul, who is delivering a series of #RahulTakingIndiaForward interactive sessions across the country, spoke to engineers at the tech hub at Manyata Tech Park and said: "Honestly, I was not looking to be a techie or a start-up entrepreneur who brings a sea change in the lives of Indian people and its economy. But if you take my example, you can travel to the remote places where I went to bring sea change in most backward areas in India."

He said he was in Bengaluru to listen to budding entrepreneurs on how to make the country's start-up ecosystem better. Listening is a powerful tool for developing a political policy.

"I am willing to take any question that you want to ask me," he said.

Rahul said India had been on a high pedestal of being the major global player and on the right political track but over the past few years, it had witnessed a political divide.

"The people are angry that they are not being able to go forward. The country is fighting within itself," he said.

At the event, the police had to control a section of people, including IT company workers, who raised slogans in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi outside the tech park that houses over 300 Indian and global companies where over one lakh technology workers work.

Police said the situation was soon brought under control.
