A very important election to protect democracy and the constitution.Do your part: Sonia Gandhi speaks to Delhiites

Two days before voting in Delhi, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Thursday said the elections are very important for safeguarding democracy and the Constitution and urged people to play their role in the fight and ensure India Bloc candidates win in all seven seats.

In a video statement, the leader of the Indian National Congress party said the Lok Sabha election was being fought over issues such as unemployment, inflation and attacks on the constitutional system.

“This is a very important election. This election is to protect the democracy and the Constitution of our country. This election is being fought on issues like unemployment, inflation and attacks on our constitutional system. You all have to play your role in this fight,” Gandhi said in a message to people in Delhi.

Thursday is the last day of campaigning in the city. Delhi goes to vote on May 25 and the results will be announced on June 4.

“Your vote will create jobs, reduce inflation, empower women and create an equal India with a bright future. I appeal to win all seven seats by large margins,” she said.
