BJP is weakening the spirit of the Constitution: Rahul Gandhi

RAEBARELI: Congress Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday mounted an attack on the BJP and the central government, alleging that the RSS and the BJP were attempting to weaken the spirit of the Constitution and undermine the ideals of its architect.

Addressing party officials and workers at the Bhuemau Guest House during his visit to Raebareli, Rahul Gandhi claimed that the country was witnessing a situation reminiscent of the pre-Independence era, where land, rights and entitlements of the common people were being taken away.

He alleged that land was being seized, rights curtailed, and funds meant for public welfare schemes diverted to big industrialists.

Urging party workers not to be afraid, Gandhi said the Congress stood firmly with labourers and the poor and would not allow what he termed “anti-people policies” of the central government to succeed.
