Rahul Gandhi interacts with activists, academics and civil society at University of California, Santa Cruz.

Gandhi landed in San Francisco where he was received by Sam Pitroda, who handles the party's overseas affairs. Pitroda is credited to be the father of India's telecom revolution.

Rahul Gandhi is on a 10 days visit to the US.

Speaking to the gathering, Rahul said, "A few people in India are absolutely convinced that they know everything. They think they can explain history to historians, science to scientists and warfare to the army.

"The BJP is threatening people and misusing government agencies.

"The Bharat Jodo Yatra started because all the instruments that we needed to connect with the people were controlled by the BJP-RSS. But at the core of it is mediocrity. They're not ready to listen!

"The Bharat Jodo Yatra carried the spirit of affection, respect and humility.

"If one studies history, it can be seen that all spiritual leadersincluding Guru Nanak Dev ji, Guru Basavanna ji, Narayana Guru jiunited the nation in a similar way."

Gandhi is scheduled to interact with students at the prestigious Stanford University in San Francisco. He will address a press conference and have meetings with lawmakers and think tanks in Washington DC. He is also likely to address Indian Americans and interact with Wall Street executives and university students during his week-long tour of the USA. He is slated to conclude his trip with a public gathering in New York on June 4. The interaction would take place at the Javits Center in New York.
