"We initiated the politics of granting rights to the people. What we decided is to give people their rights -- without any discrimination of caste, religion or region" said Rahul Gandhi while addressing a Congress rally in Punjab. "We gave you the right to job, right to education, right to food and right to information. These rights empowered the people in our country. RTI acts as a powerful tool to fight corruption. It gave strength to the people. Anyone can get any information about government activities and the facts which were earlier hid behind the closed doors have now started coming out in open" he added.
