Public sent a strong message to protect the Constitution: Priyanka
“My salute to all my colleagues of UP Congress. I saw you working hard in the sun and dust, you did not bow down, you did not stop, you showed courage to fight in the toughest of times. You were tortured, false cases were filed against you, you were put in jail, and you were repeatedly put under house arrest but you did not get scared. Many leaders left in fear, but you remained firm,” Priyanka Gandhi wrote in a post on X.
“I am proud of you and the conscious people of UP. You gave a strong message to the whole of India to save our Constitution,” she added in her post.
Priyanka Gandhi further remarked that these Lok Sabha elections have restored the old principles of politics.
“You have re-established an old ideal in today’s politics – that public issues are paramount, and the price of ignoring them is heavy. Elections are of the public, it is the public who fights and it is the public who wins,” she further stated.
