The Centre has directed the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to retract its recent advertisement for lateral entry into the bureaucracy. Opposition leaders have praised Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, hailing the retraction as a triumph for the Constitution.

Congress MP Manickam Tagore remarked that 2024 has revealed 'a weak Prime Minister and a strong People's Leader of the Opposition,' highlighting Gandhi's role in this outcome. Fellow Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi emphasized Gandhi's unwavering commitment to social justice, thanking him for his advocacy for marginalized communities.

Congress leader Supriya Srinate called the cancellation a victory for India's Constitution, underscoring the opposition's unified stance against what they deemed an unconstitutional decision. She warned that similar incidents could occur under the Modi 3.0 government.
