Rahul Gandhi on Saturday called on India’s youth to keep protesting, promising that his party would continue its fight against the government. He asserted that those who had attacked the Constitution would be defeated and said the Congress stood firmly with young people raising their voices.

Rahul Gandhi urged Indian youth to continue protesting at Chennai’s Chhatron Ki Goonj event, criticizing PM Modi and the RSS. He vowed Congress would defend the Constitution against figures like Modi, Shah, Bhagwat, Kumar, and Doval, whom he characterized as cowards.
Addressing the Chhatron Ki Goonj event in Chennai, the Congress leader also criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS. Gandhi alleged that “cowardice” was the “core characteristic” of both the Prime Minister and the organisation.

Gandhi further named Home Minister Amit Shah, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, claiming that the space around them was gradually closing.
“I’ve been fighting Narendra Modi and the RSS for over a decade now. I understand them like you would understand your opponent – inside out, like the back of my hand,” Gandhi said on X.
