The Congress leader said the UPA government had empowered the common people of the country through its programmes like right to information (RTI), food security bill, right to education (RTE) and the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.
"Our politics is that of empowerment. We want to empower the common people. The opposition does not want to empower you," he said.
"The RTI has empowered you. You can ask me, Amarinder Singh, Pratap Singh Bajwa and Ghulam Nabi Azad under it," he said.
He said that the UPA government has changed the structure of development in the country since it came to power in 2004.
