"In order to succeed, we tribals need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life. We should always remember that striving and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary."

"Politics needs Tribal Youth"- Rahul Gandhi

On the second leg of his Discover India yatra in Karnataka, AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi gave a clarion call to dalit and tribal youth to join politics.

During separate interactions with young dalits and tribals, organised in the precincts of the Vivekananda Tribal Centre in B.R. Hills, Mr. Gandhi pitched for fresh blood in politics to get rid of stagnancy. His visit to the tribal area, on the first day of his five-day tour of poll-bound Karnataka, turned out to be a big hit with hundreds of people, young and old, lining up on the route to cheer him. During the interaction, a dalit youth, Basavaraj, wanted to know whether dalit leaders would get more importance in politics. "I want SC/ST youth to join politics. If they have real talent, I will certainly push them forward in politics," Mr. Gandhi said.
