Terming it “insulting” in a country like India which had a democratic set-up, Mr. Gandhi said: “This word has no meaning today”.

Rahul Gandhi also sent a signal to UP CM Mayawati, she had talked about Rahul Gandhi using a special soap after visiting Dalit homes in UP. This is what he said.

“Does it look like that I use a special soap but what I would like to say is that I will continue to listen to people and their sufferings,” said Rahul.

During his two-day tour Rahul walked in the tribal areas plagued by poverty and Naxal threat. He took inputs from people on what ails his party.
