Leaders do no favour by serving people: Priyanka
Press Trust Of India / Rae Bareli Apr 27, 2009, 15:00 IST

Seeking support for her mother and Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi today said that a leader is a servant of the people and by serving them, the leader does not do any favour.      

"You get an opportunity at the time of elections. This is your power...The leader is your servant and does not do any favour by working for you," Gandhi said here in an election meeting.      

Asking the people to realise the power of their votes, she said no one can become a leader or get into the government without the support of the people.      

"By your support, development and change take place," she said, adding it was important to understand it during the polls.      

Priyanka also referred to the work done by the UPA government for the farmers like loan waiver and the NREGA which ensures 100 days of employment.     

"Any government would come and go, but your right of 100 days of employment will remain there," she added.
