Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, while interacting with the students at the University of Texas at Dallas in the US, said that one must focus and choose their battles carefully.
Talking about whether his perspective changed as compared to the beginning of his career and now, Mr Gandhi said that you don’t raise every issue but focus on addressing the fundamental ones.
“Now I am coming to the conclusion that listening is much more important than speaking. Listening means to put myself in your position. If a farmer speaks to me, I will try to step myself in their day-to-day life and understand what they are trying to say. Listening is fundamental and then understanding the deeper dynamics. One must not raise every single issue. You focus on important issues and fight for it. One must choose their battles carefully,” he said.
