latching on to the salary issue of sanitation workers, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday made a strong pro-poor pitch, assuring them that he will give his ‘whole life to fight’ for the rights of the underprivileged wherever they are being suppressed. “I am not talking about sanitation staff alone but wherever the poor people are being suppressed. Wherever people in suit-boot or aam aadmi (Party) are not doing their work, I will stand by them,” Gandhi said after meeting the sanitation workers of East Delhi MCD office. Gandhi joined the strike on Friday at East MCD office. He said, “I stood with them and will stand with them in future also. “Yesterday, I was with them for 15 minutes but I am willing to give hours, days, months, years and my whole life for them,” Gandhi said as the sanitation workers cheered him. On payment of their salaries, Gandhi said that he does not know whether it happened due to him or somebody else.
