Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, who is on a two-week visit to the United States, attacked the Narendra Modi government saying that "violence and anger and the politics of polarisation have raised their ugly head in India", a development "that is new to the country".

While addressing students of the prestigious University of California, Barkley on 'India at 70: Reflections on the Path Forward, he also talked about what has led to the Congress party's decline.

"Around 2012, arrogance crept into the Congress party and we stopped having conversations with people," he said when asked about the Congress party's path forward and whether it had any shortcomings.

When asked about taking up executive role in the Congress, he said, "I am absolutely ready for that, but our party works according to organizational elections."
