"I went to every corner of Ladakh, talked with the people and tried to understand whatever people of Ladakh have in their hearts. Other politicians do “Mann Ki Baat” but I am here to listen to what you have in your mind. The people of Ladakh have ideas of Gandhi Ji and Congress in their blood and DNA.People who come here from other states to work, have told me that Ladakh is like their second home. You all told me a few things. First, as a union territory, the people of Ladakh do not get that constitutional rights. Second issue you told that all the promises which were made to you about unemployment were fake. Every youth in Ladakh tells me that Ladakh is the epicentre of unemployment. Thirdly, you told me that Ladakh lacks proper internet and communication services. Fourthly, Ladakh has an airport, but no planes come. I have listened to all of them, and the Congress party stands with you.

00:00 I went to every corner of Ladakh.
00:06 I spoke to people.
00:12 I spoke to poor people, mothers, sisters, youth.
00:22 And I tried to understand what was in their hearts.
00:29 There are other leaders.
00:31 They speak from their hearts.
00:35 I thought I would listen to what was in your heart.
00:43 One thing is clear.
00:57 The ideology of Gandhi and the Congress Party
01:01 is in the blood and DNA of Ladakh.
01:09 I am not just saying this.
01:13 Don't think I am just speaking to you.
01:17 I have travelled all over Ladakh on a motorcycle.
01:26 And on the road, people from all over the country work in labour.
01:32 From Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh.
01:42 People from different states work here to build roads.
01:55 And I asked them a question.
02:00 I asked them, "You are working here in the winter.
02:07 You have come from UP and Bihar.
02:11 It is not so cold there.
02:15 Here it is -10 or -20 degrees.
02:20 How do you feel about the people of Ladakh?
02:25 Do you feel that you are working alone here?
02:28 Or do people from Ladakh help you?
02:33 Do they show you love?"
02:37 I asked them.
02:40 And not just one, but many labourers.
02:47 And all the labourers told me
02:52 that they are thousands of kilometres away from their homes.
02:58 Their families are in UP and Bihar.
03:03 But in Ladakh, they feel that it is their second home.
03:07 Whatever difficulties we face here -
03:15 stones fall, we get hurt, it is cold, we get hungry -
03:22 people from Ladakh help us.
03:26 And whenever we go to them for help, they help us immediately.
03:33 So this is in your DNA.
03:38 You live together with respect, without hatred.
03:47 And the Congress Party ideology is in your heart.
03:54 So during this tour, what did you tell me?
04:00 First of all, you said that your representation should be
04:07 your political voice,
04:11 your voice should be the leader of your local governments.
04:19 That voice is being suppressed.
04:23 You may become a Union Territory,
04:29 but you are not getting your rights.
04:37 This is the first thing you said.
04:40 The second thing you said was that the employment promises you made were false.
04:53 And if you talk to any youth in Ladakh,
04:59 they will tell you that Ladakh is the epicentre of unemployment.
05:06 The third thing you said was that
05:12 there should be coverage of cell phones,
05:19 but there is no communication system.
05:27 You also talked about the local airport.
05:34 You have an airport here, but no airplane.
05:39 So I tried to listen to you,
05:45 and the Congress Party is with you.
05:49 And your struggle, whether it is your land,
05:56 whether it is employment,
05:59 whether it is your culture, your language,
06:04 whether it is about protecting it,
06:07 we are with you.
06:11 We are with you.
06:13 (upbeat music)
