NEW DELHI: India's Constitution is not a set of rules dictated by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Wayanad parliamentarian Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in her first address in the Lok Sabha on Friday, adding that the Bharatiya Janata Party realized the Constitution cannot be changed after its loss of seats in the 2024 polls.

It's Samvidhan, not Sangh ka Vidhan, says Priyanka

As the opening speaker for the Opposition during the debate on 75 years of the Constitution, Priyanka Gandhi tried to link Constitution with common people, offered a valiant defence of the Nehru-Gandhi family and alleged that ordinary people believed that the Union government works only for a company.

"Our Constitution has given us the shield of unity. The Prime Minister touches the Constitution with his head. But when the call of justice comes from Manipur or Sambhal, he doesn't even get a crease on his forehead. He has perhaps not been able to understand that India's Constitution is not Sangh ka Vidhaan (rules of RSS). India's constitution has given us unity and fraternity," Priyanka Gandhi said.

The newest MP from the Gandhi family strongly defended her family, reminded the BJP that millions of people joined Rahul Gandhi's "Mohabbat ki Dukan" (Bharat Jodo Yatra) in response to Union defence minister Rajnath Singh's taunt, and hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not engaging with the people or on serious issues such as Manipur.
