Addressing a rally in Rampur, Rahul said the common man does not want riots and wants to live peacefully but there are forces that want to divide them on basis of religion and caste.

"Politicians never die in riots, it is the poor who face the brunt," Rahul said. "We fight for the people of the country, for the poor of the country, we fight for their rights," he added.

Pointing out the mega welfare schemes of rolled out by the UPA government like the right to employment, right to food and right to education, Rahul said Congress will continue to work for the common man of the country.

"Opposition tried to stop food security bill in Parliament. Sonia ji, Manmohan ji fought for it. And the poor will benefit from it," he said.
"Now, no one will be hungry in India. There will no mother or father who will worry that their child's stomach is empty," he said.

"But Samajwadi Party doesn't want it to implement Food Security in Uttar Pradesh, they say that it will be implemented after 2014 polls, they may be thinking that the Congress will gain if its implemented now," he said.

"Opposition asks us what we have one in the past 10 years, they don't understand the problems of the poor. Is there a bigger problem than hunger? We gave food security. They talk of growth rates -- India progressed fastest during UPA rule, the aam admi has been benefited the most during UPA rule," Rahul said.
