After political storm, Rahul defends begging remark

Days after the uproar over his statement about Uttar Pradesh migrants begging for work in other states, Rahul Gandhi explained his controversial remark. The Congress General Secretary said in Barabanki, where he started his Jan Sampark Yatra, "people sat in studios and criticised me, but I will ask them to speak to the children on the traffic signals. They will tell you that they are from UP."
