Rahul Gandhi in Gaya: “We will not allow Modi, Election Commission to attack Constitution.”

Patna, August 18, 2025: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Election Commission of India, accusing them of conspiring to “ steal votes” and undermine democracy.

Addressing a gathering during the Voter Adhikar Yatra in Gaya, Rahul Gandhi held up a copy of the Constitution and said, “This Constitution was made by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. It carries the voice of 3,000 years, the voice of the country’s heart. When they steal the vote, they attack the heart of the Constitution and the nation. We will not allow Narendra Modi or the Election Commission to attack our Constitution. No one can finish it.”

He also warned that if the Election Commission failed to discharge its duty, “action will be taken against those who are running the Election Commission.”

Rahul Gandhi interacted with the locals of Aurangabad:

Earlier on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi, along with Tejashwi Yadav, Dipankar Bhattacharya, Mukesh Sahani and other INDIA bloc leaders interacted with people in Aurangabad.

Many villagers complained that their names had been deleted from the voters’ list after the Special Intensive Revision (SIR).
