As early election results began to emerge, Rahul Gandhi, the leader of India's main opposition, expressed his concerns about the state of India's constitution. Gandhi accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to hijack government institutions illegally and breaking parties by arresting leaders. He emphasized that the public's fear of Modi attacking the constitution and democracy was a driving force behind the election.
Gandhi highlighted the public sentiment against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, stating that the country has clearly indicated its disapproval of their leadership. He criticized the BJP's governance over the past decade, citing concerns about their approach to upholding the constitution.
Despite these challenges, Gandhi secured victory in his constituency of Wayanad with a significant number of votes. He commended the public for their support of opposition candidates in Uttar Pradesh, describing it as a 'miracle' in response to the perceived threats to democracy and the constitution.
The election results reflect a broader sentiment among voters who are concerned about the direction of the country under the current leadership. Gandhi's remarks underscore the importance of protecting India's democratic values and institutions in the face of political challenges.
