Save democracy: Rahul Gandhi appeals to voters

A day before the second phase of the Lok Sabha polls, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday urged people to support his party and asserted this is an election to save democracy and the Constitution which he alleged the BJP-RSS are trying to "destroy".

Gandhi, who is seeking a second-straight term from Wayanad in Kerala, in a video appeal said this election is to save democracy and the Constitution.

"We walked from Kanyakumari to Kashmir for over 4,000 km, we traversed from Manipur to Maharashtra and after speaking with you and listening to your issues we prepared our revolutionary manifesto. This is your manifesto. It is prepared by the Congress but this is your voice," Gandhi said in his appeal to the people.


"We have given five guarantees. Narendra Modi made 22-25 people billionaires and we are going to make crores of women and youth lakhpatis. We are giving a legal guarantee of MSP to farmers and waiving off their loans. We have promised to give a minimum wage of Rs 400 to labourers," he added.
