For the first 15 yrs, I was an MP in north. I had got used to a different type of politics. For me, coming to Kerala was very refreshing as suddenly I found that people are interested in issues & not just superficially but going into detail in issues: Rahul Gandhi, in Trivandrum

I was talking to some students in the US & I said that I really enjoy going to Kerala. It's not just affection but the way you do your politics. If I might say so, the intelligence with which you do your politics. So, for me, it's been learning experience & pleasure: Rahul Gandhi

It's a question on North India & by extension on Bihar. Congress' national leader making a division-evoking statement has hurt sentiments of Bihar's people hence, I've moved a censure motion in Assembly: Sanjay Mayukh, Bihar MLC on Rahul Gandhi's remark in Trivandrum yesterday

Rahul Gandhi had made observation, perhaps sharing his personal experiences & not disrespecting any part of India or dividing. In what context he made that observation, he can clarify that so that there's no conjecture or misunderstandings: Congress' Anand Sharma on Rahul Gandhi

Congress never divided the country. Each part of India is equally important. North India has also contributed a lot. We had front-ranking leaders of freedom struggle - Motilal Nehru, JL Nehru, Dr Rajendra Prasad, Govind Vallabh Pant, Lala Lajpat Rai just to name a few: A Sharma

After independence there have been illustrious PMs - Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Atal Bihari Vajpayee - they all represented UP. Recently it was Dr Manmohan Singh from north India, so Congress has never disrespected a region: Anand Sharma, Congress

When it comes to Amethi, we're grateful to voters & respect them. Amethi elected Sanjay Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Capt Satish Sharma, Sonia Gandhi & Rahul Gandhi. No question of being disrespectful. It's not the philosophy of Congress. We've believed in a united India: Anand Sharma
