Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi while addressing the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) annual conclave at New Delhi on Thursday stressed for the need for inclusive growth and improved connectivity. “The biggest danger is excluding people - excluding the poor, middle class, tribals, dalits, women and minorities. Whenever he have not embraced the excluded – the women, tribals, poor, we always have fallen backwards” said Rahul Gandhi.

"Innovation comes together with urban developments, easy access to education, cultural, transportation and safety." - The size of the city doesn't determine the development, or the population, is the commitment to make it more environmental friendly using modern transportation ensuring our future.
