Congress general secretary K V Venugopal said in continuation of the success and momentum generated by the massive Bharat Bachao Rally in Delhi, the party has decided to hold a marches with the slogan “Save India- Save Constitution” at all state capitals under the aegis of respective state units.

These will be taken out December 28, the foundation day of the Indian National Congress, he said, adding that during the marches the party also aims at registering a strong protest against the "anti-people policies" of the Narendra Modi government.
