No place for poor people in country : Rahul

Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said there is no place for the poor in the country and they were facing oppression.

“Today, there is no place for the poor and weaker sections in our country. They are being oppressed not just in Uttar Pradesh, but in the entire country,” he said after meeting those affected in the caste violence in Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh.

“The administration tried to stop me at the Uttar Pradesh border but I walked up to Shahjahanpur Chowki, Saharanpur, where I met the families of the victims,” Gandhi said on his official Twitter handle.
