Congress president Rahul Gandhi alleged that institutions were being packed with people who believed in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s ideology. Photo: PTINew Delhi: Ahead of general elections due next year, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday launched the nationwide “Save the Constitution Campaign” in a bid to corner the government over atrocities against Dalits, alleging it has failed to protect the values enshrined in the Constitution. Gandhi hit out at the government over attacks on Dalits, rights of Dalits as well as minorities, crimes against women and weakening of institutions. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah said in a statement, “They do not want rule of democracy but they want rule of dynasty. Its ‘Save the Constitution’ campaign is nothing but a farce that seeks to perpetuate the rule of dynasty over the rule of democracy.
