The Congress held a significant 'Samvidhan Bachao' rally at Veerangana Laxmibai Samadhi Sthal in Gwalior, underscoring a rising movement to protect India's Constitution. Addressing party supporters, MP Congress chief Jitu Patwari stated that their struggle isn't merely political; it's a fight against ideologies intent on weakening constitutional integrity.
