Celebrate 139 years of Congress: Join Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in building an India based on parliamentary democracy and equality.
The Congress has always worked towards building an India that is based on parliamentary democracy and equality, its president Mallikarjun Kharge said on December 28 as the party celebrates its 139th foundation day and kickstarts its Lok Sabha poll campaign with a mega rally in Nagpur.
In a post on X, Mr. Kharge said, "The objective of the Indian National Congress is public welfare and progress of the people of India."
The Congress believes in an India that is based on parliamentary democracy, where there is equality and opportunities for all without any discrimination, and where political, economic and social rights enshrined in the Constitution are followed, he said.
"We are proud that for the last 138 years we have been struggling with full honesty to build such an India. My heartiest greetings to every Indian on the occasion of Congress' foundation day," he said.
To mark the Congress' foundation day, Mr. Kharge hoisted the national flag at the party headquarters in Delhi in the presence of senior leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
Wishing party workers on X, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said he is proud to be part of an organisation like the Congress, which has truth and non-violence as its foundation, love, fraternity, respect and equality as its pillars, and patriotism as its roof.
