Presiding over the function for the first time as Congress chief, Rahul Gandhi addressed party workers at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office at 24, Akbar Road and asked them to defend the nation from the lies and deceit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“The Constitution, the foundation of our country is under attack directly. Statements are being made by senior members of the BJP and it is under attack surreptitiously from the back,” Rahul said.
