Congress will fight to defend the Constitution of India: Rahul Gandhi 

Congress will prove to be a strong and effective opposition party, that will fight to defend the Constitution of India, said Congress president Rahul Gandhi at the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) on Saturday.

''I thought 40 were enough to take on BJP. Now we have 52 MPs. Our MPs will fight BJP every single day,'' said Congress president who was also present at the CPP meet.

''Maybe we will not get enough time in the House but even those two minutes would be enough to put down BJP,'' he added.

Rahul thanked the voters and addressed the Congress party workers, saying, "Every Congress member must remember that each one of you is fighting for the Constitution, for every person in India irrespective of the colour of his skin or belief", party spokesperson Surjewala said.

''Congratulations to Smt Sonia Gandhi on being elected Leader of the Congress Parliamentary Party. Under her leadership, the Congress will prove to be a strong & effective opposition party, that will fight to defend the Constitution of India,'' tweeted Rahul Gandhi after the CPP meeting.
