New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said dominance of money power and nepotism was obstructing the entry of youth in politics.
"The youth want to join politics but don't know the way. Once they enter politics, they don't find it clean. They are confused about politics and it looks as if there is a wall between them and politics. We have to break this wall," Gandhi said while addressing a gathering of the party's district chiefs and grassroot workers at Ramlila Maidan in the Capital.
"Once they (youth) enter, they face many problems in moving ahead. At times money power is used and sometimes nepotism blocks the way. They say that they want to work but their work is not recognised. Until we solve all these issues, youth energy cannot be used," he said.
Rahul said the party's biggest achievement is that it hasn’t deviated from its basic ideologies.
“Gandhiji had said that while formulating policies one should keep the face of the poorest person in mind and my party has not deviated from this ideology,” Rahul said.
The Congress General Secretary also spoke about his party’s policies.
"I travelled across the country and found that people have one common complaint that there is no accountability. Congress led United Progressive Alliance gave National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) to the poor, gave assured employment of 100 days and empowered the weaker section through the Right to Information (RTI) act,” he said.
