Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said he has been sitting in the system since the day he was born and it is aligned against the lower castes.

Speaking during an election rally in Haryana's Panchkula, the Congress leader said his father and grandmother has served as Prime Ministers and he knows how the system works and whom it favours and protects.

"I have been sitting in the system since the day I was born. I understand the system from the inside. You cannot hide the system from me. How it works, whom it favours, how it favours, whom it protects, whom it attacks, I know everything because I come from inside the system," Rahul Gandhi said.

"When my grandmother was the PM, my father was the PM, and when Manmohan Singh was the PM, I used to go to the PM's house. So I know how the system works from the inside. I can tell you one thing, the system is aligned against the lower castes, severely and on every level," he added.

In another rally in Haryana, Rahul Gandhi said the Agniveer military recruitment scheme will be scrapped and thrown in the dustbin if the INDIA bloc comes to power.

He slammed PM Narendra Modi for turning India's jawan into labourers and also attacked Modi over the issue of farmers' debts.

He claimed that the Modi government waived loans amounting to Rs 16 lakh crore for 22 arabpatis (top industrialists) but openly says it won't waive farmers' debts as it will spoil them.

"We had brought the land acquisition bill to protect farmers and give them due compensation, but the Modi government scrapped it," the Congress MP said.

Gandhi added India's borders are secured by the youths of Haryana and the country. "There is patriotism in the DNA of our youth", he said, adding, "Modi has converted India's jawans into labourers."
