New Delhi, June 26 (IANS) In a video message, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday expressed his gratitude to the people of India, party workers, and the INDIA bloc partners for placing their trust in him for the role of Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha.
The Congress leader affirmed his belongingness to them, pledging to advocate their concerns and voice inside the Parliament, while steadfastly defending the Constitution against any assault.
