Addressing students of the Mizoram University at Tanhril near here, Rahul said being born and brought up in a political family, he was of the view that politicians should be in politics for the upliftment of the people.
"I believe in listening (and then) implementing", he said, adding that he had come to Mizoram to listen to the voice of the youths.
"I believe that the youth, comprising more than 40 per cent of our population should come into politics," he said.
After interacting with the students for more than an hour, Rahul inaugurated a girls' hostel inside the university campus.
Rahul changed his earlier plan to return today and would stay overnight in Aizawl, Congress sources said, adding he would address a press conference here tomorrow.
