“The situation in the country is n worse condition. It is our responsibility to come out and agitate. If we have to save the country, we will have to take strong steps. Youths are not getting job, they are going through times.”

“Are we not ready to struggle for the betterment of the youth, farmers,” asks Sonia Gandhi.

Entire nation is asking where is 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'? Where is employment today? Where is the black money? Who has it? , says Sonia

Today, the money of people is not safe even in the banks. Is this Modi's Acche Din?, says Sonia.

Small businesses have been destroyed due to wrong policies of Modi govt, such shopkeepers forced to commit suicide, says Sonia Gandhi.

Modi-Shah are not bothered about the constitution... they only want to incite people to fight and hide the real issues, says Sonia.

We are always ready to fight for the rights of the people... We will protect our country and the constitution till our last breath, says Sonia Gandhi. “Raise your voice and tell PM Modi and Amit Shah that we will do anything to save our democracy.”

“I was told in Parliament by BJP y'day 'Rahul ji, you gave a speech. Apologise for that.' I was told to apologise for something which is right. My name is not Rahul Savarkar. My name is Rahul Gandhi. I will never apologise for truth,” says Rahul Gandhi.

If you calculate by old method, current GDP is 2.5%, says Rahul.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi single-handedly destroyed India’s economy, says Rahul Gandhi

It is Narendra Modi and his assistant Amit Shah who has to apologise to the country for destroying India's economy, says Rahul. “It is Narendra Modi and his assistant Amit Shah who has to apologise to the country for destroying India's economy.”

In the last 5 years, PM Modi gave Adani 50 contracts. Handed him the airports, says Rahul Gandhi.

“It is Prime Minister Modi himself and not India's enemies who has destroyed our economy, and he still calls himself a patriot. Narendra Modi in only concerned about power... there just should be enough marketing, he should be on TV all day.”

Media has forgotten its duty, says Rahul Gandhi

Modi govt made big promises to the poeple in 2014 years. He promised about doubling income of farmers in five years, 2 crore jobs for youth. All these promises are lies, they have not been able to deliver on single promises. Time has come to strengthen Congress party, says Mamohan Singh

BJP talks about on nationalism. But we want to make clear, Congress doesn't need nationalism lesson from anyone. I want to ask BJP, how many people from their party had took part in Independence struggle, says Kamal Nath

“What does Bharat Bachao? Whom do we want to defend our country from? This country is of love, peace and brotherhood,” says Priyanka Gandhi

BJP hai toh mehngai hai, berozgaari hai, says Priyanka. “One who doesn't fight against injustice in country will be judged as a coward.”

Some years back, the world would look towards us... but after 6 years of BJP government, the GDP is plummeting... factories are closing down, says Priyanka

“India is a nation of non-violence, brotherhood and love. We have to save our country.”

“Today, unemployment is rising, factories are shutting down. Such laws are being made which are unconstitutional.”

Urge you all to stand united against this government, says Priyanka. “If we don't raise our voice today then our Constitution will be destroyed. There is injustice all around us. It is our responsibility to protect the dreams of every Indian.”

“If we don't raise our voice, stay back in the darkness of fear & lies even in these circumstances, & stay quiet then our Constitution will be destroyed.”

“BJP government is dividing people which the people of this country wont accept. They have entire country on fire. PM Modi and BJP Amit Shah are responsible for this. No one is safe in this country. There is no unemployment in the country. There is rise on atrocity on Delhi. Price rise is on all time high,” says Kumari Selja

In 6 months Modi govt has wrecked India's economy. Yet ministers are completely clueless. Y'day Finance Minister said everything's alright, we're on top of the world. The only thing she didn't say was 'achhe din aane wale hain,” says P Chidambaram, at Congress' 'Bharat Bachao' rally

“Modi govt is pushing an agenda which does not belong to Nehru, Gandhi or Ambedkar. They are pushing the agenda Gowalkar and Savarkar.”

“Its is a clash of two ideas. BJP has set entire North East on fire through Citizenship Amendment Act. We want investment, peace not divisive politics. BJP brought CAB because they want to divert attention from down sliding economy. BJP dishonoured Assam accord,” says Gaurav Gogoi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that his party has organised a mega rally at Ram Lila ground in Delhi on Saturday, 'against the dictatorship of the BJP government and slaughtering of Indian economy and democracy'. He said that he will address the public gathering over these issues.

Apart from Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Sonia Gandhi, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other senior leaders, including Congress Working Committee members, will also address the rally.

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Subhash Chopra on Friday said that the "Bharat Bachao Rally at the Ramlila Ground will be historic and he expects that lakhs of people from across the country will participate in this".

The party has made arrangements at Delhi Airport and railway stations to receive Congress workers and leaders arriving from different parts of the country for the rally. He said, "a large number of people will arrive early Saturday morning."

The rally is organised to protest against the economic slump, unemployment, poverty, distress in the farm and industrial sectors, soaring prices of essential goods, including onion, petrol and diesel and other issues created by the BJP Government's 'destructive policies'.

Large hoardings of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi have been put up all around the Ramlila ground and across Delhi. Chopra said that the Congress party has launched an aggressive campaign for the promotion of the rally and a 10-km radius of the rally venue has been decorated with tri-colour flags and banners.
