Bhopal: Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi said that only his
visits to Dalit houses across the country were highlighted, although
he went to places inhabited by people of all classes.

"The media talks only about my visits to the houses of Dalits, and
chooses to ignore the other places where I go," he told reporters
yesterday at a press conference here.

The young leader arrived in Gwalior yesterday on a two-day visit to
the state to widen the base of Youth Congress and the students wing of
the National Student's Union of India here.

"I had gone to four colleges and a tribal hostel, but the media
highlighted only my visit to the hostel," the Gandhi scion said.

In Bhopal, Rahul was impressed by the optimism shown by students
living in a tribal hostel, where he made an unannounced and an
unscheduled visit.

"I thought that if such students can be full of optimism, then there
is no doubt that the future of India will be bright," Rahul said.

He told reporters that the students were full of optimism even though
the parents of most of them were simple labourers.
