#WATCH #LIVE Rahul Gandhi At AICC Press Conference says that the role of the Congress as an opposition party is to build pressure on the ruling party. He said that the media is shirking from its job of building this pressure and is instead turning around to ask questions on Congress "playing politics". He said that without the intervention of the opposition, the rapists of the Hathras scandal would have gone sott-free. 

He asserted that the Congress was focusing on the interest and rights of the farmers. About "manhandling", he said that this is part of his family's training, and that it will be futile in stopping either him or Priyanka Gandhi from their activities.
