Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has once again targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), accusing them of eroding the core values enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Speaking at a public event, Gandhi claimed that the ruling parties are systematically undermining the constitutional principles of secularism, democracy, and social justice, which are vital to India's unity and progress.
Gandhi's remarks come amid growing concerns over the influence of the BJP and RSS in shaping national policies, which critics say prioritize religious and cultural majoritarianism over the inclusive and diverse nature of India. The Congress leader argued that the ongoing ideological shift is moving India away from the values of pluralism and equality, aiming to replace them with divisive, exclusionary ideologies.
This statement adds to the ongoing debate about the state of India’s democracy, with opposition leaders and civil society groups questioning the direction in which the country is heading under the current government. Gandhi reiterated that protecting the Constitution’s foundational values was crucial to preserving India's democratic fabric, urging citizens to stand up against forces that threaten national unity.
