A close up of their work. Observed, tried to learn their skills and understood their problems and problems.”

‘Those who build houses for others can hardly run their own houses’

Rahul Gandhi says, “They (people) do not go to their homes. We celebrate festivals happily, earn some money, so we forget our village, city, family. They make happiness out of mud, for others. Are they able to live in the light while lighting the festival? The house-builders can hardly run their houses.”

He said, “Diwali means light, which can dispel the darkness of poverty and helplessness, whose flame makes every household smile. We have to create such a system – which gives rights to talent and respect to contribution – to make Diwali a happy one for everyone.” The Congress leader said, “I hope this Diwali brings prosperity, progress and love in the lives of all of you.”
