The opposition is accusing the government of not doing enough to contain inflation and create promised jobs for young people.
Tens of thousands of people came to the public meeting, organised to mark 1,000 km of the party's five-month-long protest march named Bharat Jodo Yatra or Unite India rally.
"The Prime Minister used to complain an LPG cylinder cost 400 rupees. Now it costs more than 1,000 rupees. Can he answer our people today?" Rahul Gandhi, the party's former president and son of Sonia Gandhi asked amid applause. The government says it has contained inflation amid climbing global energy and food prices, and is boosting local manufacturing, while denying charges of spreading hatred.
Many people, including civil society groups, still place hope in the party, which helped lead India's struggle for independence from Britain and dominated politics for decades after it was achieved in 1947.
