Wayanad: Congress general secretary and Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized BJP-led Central government, accusing it of making efforts to weaken both the Constitution and democracy. Speaking to party leaders, she said, “This might be the first government in India’s history that is working towards undermining these fundamental pillars of the nation.”
“You must understand that the fight we are fighting today is not just about our politics or ideology. It is about protecting everything that India has achieved,” she added.
