She also thanked the people for giving her an opportunity to serve them as an MP for 20 years.

“My everything is all given by you. So, brothers and sisters, I am giving you my son. You consider me yours,” she said.

Trying to strike an emotional chord with the voters, Sonia asked the people to consider Rahul Gandhi too as their own.

“Rahul will not disappoint you,” said Sonia Gandhi, as Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra stood by her side on the stage at a joint election rally here. 

“I taught the same lesson Rahul and Priyanka which Indira Gandhi and the people of Rae Bareli had taught me. To respect all, protect the weak, fight against injustice for the rights of people. Don’t be afraid, because your roots of struggle and traditions are very deep,” she said.
