I worked for the INC just when RG became Congress President. It was only under his tenure that young people like me could actually work in politics despite being from non-political families.

When he resigned last year, I branched out & started working independently.

I never “demanded” a party position nor did I stop doing the work I owed to my country as a citizen.

Did I have grouses? Yes. But I chose to discuss those internally. And just because they didn’t get resolved, I didn’t switch over to the evil side out of greed.

I don’t take a penny from any party.

I took the gamble of not taking a lucrative job, surviving on crowdfunding & doing my work full-time because I want to see the BJP gone.

Am I ambitious? Of course. But there’s a THICK line between ambition & selfishness.

Today, I try my best to do what I’m good at. I believe in Rahul Gandhi & he inspires me.

I believe that my work should speak for itself.

If you have integrity & a conscience, you’ll realize that it’s all about defeating the BJP & not about your personal ambitions.

Lakhs of Congress volunteers work tirelessly today - online & offline.

They are among most talented people out there.

They do it for free. Why? Because they believe the goal is to defeat fascism & the BJP.

No Scindia or Pilot can take that away from the INC.
