Camp: GUNUPUR (ORISSA)
Date: 8th March 2008
“ 17 years ago…it was not just Rajiv ji who was killed, but a voice representing the youth of India was extinguished. What ever Rajiv ji did, for the youth of India, be they backward or poor and engineer or whoever they were, Rajiv ji’s work contributed in taking today’s youth forward.
To tell you the truth, when I was sitting at the stage I recalled that day, 17 years ago when I spoke to my father and he told me that he was going to Orissa and Tamil Nadu. A short while ago, sitting on the stage I was feeling sad. But then I thought…it’s strange…you were the last people he met. The last people he spent time with. That mean’s that your thought process and your convictions were important to him.
The way he worked for you…took your voice forward…today’s Indian youth and his talents are known internationally. India’s youth is wise and talented. But Rajiv ji was just taking your voice forward, he was just an instrument, you are the power!
I have been traveling here, speaking to people. I used to think that Uttar Pradesh is backward. There is lack of education there, lack of power supply. But what I saw here in Orissa, I’ve never, in my entire life, seen before.”
