INDIA parties committed to defend Constitution, democracy: Sonia
Staff Reporter
Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi today alleged BJP of only focusing on gaining power at any cost and promoting hatred for political gain.
In a video message on social media, Mrs. Gandhi said that in every corner of the country, youth are facing unemployment, women are facing atrocities. Dalits, tribals and minorities are facing discrimination. She said that Congress and INDIA alliance are dedicated to protecting the Constitution and democracy.
Sonia Gandhi said that the INDIA bloc parties, including Congress, are committed to defending the Constitution and democracy.
Notably, Sonia Gandhi’s reiteration of commitment to the constitution and democracy came in the wake of the Opposition’s oft-repeated stand that the 2024 Lok Sabha elections are an opportunity to “save the Constitution and democracy from the ruling BJP”.
While attacking the BJP-led government at the Centre, said, “Youth unemployment, crimes against women, and discrimination against Dalits, Adivasis, and minorities have reached unprecedented levels. These challenges stem from the ‘niyat’ and ‘niti’ of Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi and the BJP which aim for power rejecting inclusivity and dialogue.”
“The sight of our Constitution and democracy being under threat, our poor being left behind, and the fact that the fabric of our society is being torn apart fills me with anguish.
Making an appeal to the people of the country, she said, “Today, I ask for your support once again. Our ‘Nyay Patra’ and guarantees aim to unite our nation and work for the poor, youth, women, farmers, workers, and the disadvantaged communities of India.”
She asserted that Congress and the INDIA parties are committed to defending the Constitution and democracy. “Reject the proponents of lies and hatred and vote for the Congress for a brighter and more equal future for all. Press the hand button and together, let us build a stronger, more united India with peace and harmony for all,” she appealed.
