On April 12, 2026, just two days before Ambedkar’s birth anniversary, Rahul Gandhi kicked off a marathon titled ‘Run For Ambedkar, Run For Constitution’ in Delhi. This event set the stage for a series of bold political statements aimed at the ruling government.
During the marathon, Gandhi did not hold back, alleging that the RSS-BJP’s main objective is to finish off the Constitution. His remarks were a clear indication of the ongoing political tensions in India.
Later in Puducherry, Gandhi reaffirmed the Congress party’s commitment to grant full statehood to the region. This promise comes as part of a broader strategy to regain support in a territory that has seen significant political shifts.
Gandhi also announced that if the Congress alliance is voted to power, they will provide monthly financial assistance of two thousand rupees to unemployed youth. This initiative aims to address the pressing issue of youth unemployment in the region.
In addition to financial support, Gandhi pledged to create 30 thousand new jobs in both the public and private sectors in Puducherry. This promise is part of a larger vision to revitalize the local economy.
He further claimed that the current government in Puducherry is being remote controlled from Delhi, a statement that underscores the disconnect between local governance and central authority.
Gandhi did not shy away from criticizing the NDA-led administration in Puducherry, emphasizing the need for change and accountability.
Moreover, he promised to conduct local body elections in Puducherry within six months of assuming office, a move aimed at empowering local governance.
As the political landscape heats up, these developments are crucial for the Congress party as they seek to regain influence in Puducherry and challenge the RSS-BJP’s dominance.
With the marathon and his promises, Rahul Gandhi is positioning himself as a champion for the Constitution and the rights of the people, particularly the youth, in Puducherry.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the immediate impact of these announcements, but they certainly set the tone for the upcoming electoral battles.
