Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is in Ludhiana today, campaigning in support of party nominee Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, ahead of the June 1 Lok Sabha elections in the state. During his address, Rahul claimed that the saffron party will 'scrap the Constitution' if it comes to power.
"For the first time, any party and their leaders have said that they will change and scrap the Constitution if they win the election," said Gandhi targeting the BJP.
Holding a copy of the Constitution, he said it was not a book but the voice of the poor.
The BJP wants to "finish" the Constitution, alleged the Congress leader as he accused the saffron party of not giving a legal guarantee on MSP.
The Congress leader also raised the issue of the drug problem in Punjab and said it is increasing, highlighting that stringent action is required to end the menace.
Addressing a poll rally in favour of Congress' Ludhiana candidate Amrinder Singh Raja Warring in Dakha, Gandhi said the 2024 Lok Sabha polls are for saving the Constitution.
He also spoke about his party's poll promises, including the Mahalakshmi scheme, loan waiver for farmers, and ensuring legal guarantee on minimum support price if the INDIA bloc comes to power.
He further promised to bring a farmer-friendly crop insurance scheme, alleging that the present insurance scheme only benefits 16 insurance companies.
Slamming the BJP for the Agnipath scheme, he said if the INDIA bloc comes to power, it will scrap it and throw it in the dustbin.
