May 06, 2023- The third phase of the Lok Sabha polls to 93 seats across 10 states and Union territories, both the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Opposition appear enthusiast. Both sides claim to have done well in the first two of the seven phases with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi doubling down on his claim about the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s alleged plan to change the Constitution. Gandhi has been carrying a pocket-size copy of the Constitution to emphasise his claim that the BJP has been seeking 400 seats for the purpose.
Addressing an election rally In Telangana’s Nirmal, Gandhi told that the ongoing election is a contest between two ideologies in which the Congress is trying to protect the Constitution and BJP and its ideological fount Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh were seeking to end it and the rights of the people.
Gandhi also claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is against reservation and wants to do away with it. Gandhi said the Congress would increase the quotas beyond the 50% cap if it is voted to power.
