Rahul Gandhi reaffirms commitment to public concerns after two years as Leader of Opposition

Marking two years as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday reaffirmed his commitment to taking people's concerns to the "corridors of power", saying he would continue fighting every battle on their behalf.

In a post on X, Gandhi shared a three-and-a-half-minute video compiling speeches and interventions from the past two years, highlighting issues he said he had raised both inside and outside Parliament, including the NEET controversy, alleged electoral fraud and the defence of the Constitution.

"Today marks two years since I became the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Every single day of these two years has been dedicated to one task - to carry the voice of every Indian to the corridors of power.

"Whether it's the fight for NEET aspirants, exposing electoral fraud, or defending the Constitution, I have stood with you on every front. I stand with you today, and I always will," he said in Hindi.

Gandhi said the trust reposed in him by the people remained his greatest source of strength.

"From the streets to Parliament, the people's trust is my greatest strength.

"The journey is long, but my resolve remains the same - I will keep fighting every battle for you. Jai Hind. Jai Constitution," he said.

A five-term Member of Parliament, Gandhi currently represents Uttar Pradesh's Rae Bareli constituency, previously held by his mother, Sonia Gandhi. He was appointed the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha in June 2024, following the general election.
