Congress leader Rahul Gandhi emphasized the importance of the ongoing Lok Sabha election as a battle to safeguard the country’s Constitution. Addressing a public gathering in Jobat town, Alirajpur district, within the Ratlam-Jhabua Lok Sabha constituency in Madhya Pradesh, Rahul accused the BJP and RSS of seeking to alter the Constitution.
He asserted that if his party and the I.N.D.I.A alliance are voted into power, they will work towards removing the 50 per cent cap on reservation, aiming to better serve the interests of the people. Additionally, Gandhi reiterated his support for conducting a caste census, believing it would provide comprehensive insights into the societal status of individuals and have a transformative effect on the country’s political landscape.
The former Congress president’s remarks underscored a stark contrast between his party’s vision of preserving the Constitution and the alleged intentions of the BJP and RSS to amend it. According to news agency PTI, Gandhi reiterated that the BJP and RSS aim to change the Constitution, while the Congress and its allies are committed to safeguarding it. This statement encapsulates the essence of the ongoing electoral battle, portraying it as a struggle to protect the foundational principles of India’s democracy against perceived threats of alteration.
